Hachiko: A Dog’s Story

An Akita dog born in 1923, Hachikō is remembered for his deep loyalty to his owner. While his owner was alive, Hachikō would greet him at the end of each day at Shibuya station when he returned home from work. The man died in 1925, but Hachikō kept his daily routine, faithfully waiting for his owner every evening at the station for 10 years until he died in 1935. Hachikō’s permanent presence at Shibuya station attracted widespread attention, and his legendary faithfulness became a national symbol of loyalty.

Here is a movie based on this true story. It was so touching, I bawled towards the end. The piano music is beautiful too. I really hope everyone who watches this enjoys it as much as I did!  (have your tissues ready, you’re gonna need ‘em!)
