Hachiko: A Dog's Story





Movie review:

Gere plays a college professor who finds a lost puppy wondering around a train station. When he can’t find the pup’s owner, he winds up keeping the dog. The professor’s Japanese pal identifies the puppy as an Akita and explains pertinent facts about the breed. He also suggests a name for the pooch – Hachiko, or Hachi, for short.
Hachi and the dog form an extremely strong bond. Every morning, Hachi walks to the terminal with its owner, and every afternoon at five, the dog returns to wait for the professor.
One day the professor doesn’t return from work. Hachi waits for hours, until the professor’s daughter comes to take it home.
Every day for ten long years, Hachi returns to the station in anticipation of its master’s arrival at the train station. Vendors and employees at the terminal feed Hachi, but the dog never accepts another master. Hachi finally dies at the terminal, still waiting for his beloved master.

I think it is a really good movie. I cried when watching this film because it really touching. I recommended this film for people who love dogs :D
