"Hachiko" - the Japanese Dog Akita..Movie i watched from the airplane back from Tokyo to S'pore. This was a heartwarming true story which is an American adaptation of a Japanese tale about a loyal dog named Hachiko. This little creature will see his owner for work at the train station every morning & return to the station every afternoon to wait for his owner to be back from work. Very sad that one day his master left for work and died of heart attack in his work place and never returns. Not knowing that his master will nvr returns he continued to wait for him at the station every day around his master returned time for continuous nine years. His loyalty has touches many ppl who work near and commute around the town square. Hachiko died on the step that he waited for his master outside the station on 8th March 1935 at the age of 12.
His faithfulness & loyalty has impressed the ppl of Japan . Eventually a well known Japanese artist rendered a sculpture of Hachiko & a statue of the dog is erected at Shibuya Station in Tokyo and his stuffed & mounted remains was actually kept at the National Science Museum of Japan Ueno, Tokyo... strongly recommend this movie ... very very touching... sure to cry ... weap weap~
