Hachiko: A Dog's Story

Again, this is another sad story that make my tear dropping. This is a true story that happened in Japan. After that, the story had been recorded as film by Lasse Hallstrom. But this time, filming took place in United State and the characters had changed but the loyalty of what Hachiko(Hachi) had presented is still remain. Hachi is the name for the dog, and his owner as Parker Wilson (Richard Gere), a college professor. The relationship between Hachi and Parker are very close, just like they can "talk" to each other. Everyday, Hachi will go to the train station and wait for his master to walk back home together.

One morning, Hachi pick up the ball and chases after his owner. Parker is surprised when he saw Hachi holding the ball in his mouth. This is because Hachi is refusal to do normal dog-like things, such as chase and retrieve a ball. Unfortunately, Parker didn't realize why Hachi does so and why her dog wants to follow him to go to the train station, actually it has a meaning behind it.

Like before, Hachi go to the station on time.But he didn't sees her master walking out from the station. He keeps waiting for his master, patiently lying in the snow. Day by day and 9 years had pasted. One night, Hachi makes his way to his usual spot, and he sees Parker walking toward him. Now they will be friend lasting forever.

It really hurt my feeling when I watched Hachi becomes weak and thin but he still remain on his usual position waits for Parker. This would be a movie that I would like to share because the faithful of the dog was unbelievable. If you is a dog lover, then you can feel the most deepest of sadness when you see how Hachi proves his loyalty to his master. I start talking to myself when I watched the scene of Hachi stay on his usual place and wait for his master, who wont be back again. No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, he just keep on waiting. The monologue : "Stop waiting, Hachi.... Stop waiting.... Stop... waiting... "
