[bighank]

First off let me say I'm an animal lover,especially dogs.I saw a movie last night called hatchi a dogs story.it moved me so much I thought I would share.its based in Japan.a Japanese proffesser gets a akita pup and named him hachiko.the dog watched him leave for work every day,and waited for him to come home.one day h,in
achiko went to the train station to meet his master,every single day at 4:00.the proffesser would get off the train,and there would be hachiko waiting for his master.one day the proffesser goes to work,has a stroke,and dies in the classroom at work.hachiko as usual waits for him at
4:00,but this time his master never shows.hachiko continued to wait for his master for 10 years.every single day hachiko would be at the train station at 4:00,waiting for his master to get off the train.they built a bronze statue of hachiko at the train station,that still stands to this day ,in Japan.people visit it a lot,its there to show hachikos loyalty.this is a true story,just wanted to share.Google hachiko too get the full story .enjoy

Its so sad tho because the dog never understood what happened..couldn't someone who knew take the dog to the casket to at least let him get the scent his master passed? poor dog was heart broken daily and probably thought his owner abandoned him.

Excellent movie. The breeder I got my Akita from has the brother to the one used in this movie. Not any relation to my pup I got but I thought it was pretty cool nonetheless.

I love this story. I teared up watching this story on a japanese channel.
Take care.

Lets just say that when i watched the movie Hachi, there were three other "tough" guys in the room and we were all crying little girls. And not to sound tough but i am just not a crier or emotional person. I do love dogs however. And most sad movies/stories have their one or two sad moment and its over. Not this damn movie. It just gets worse, and then goes down some more, and just when you think it is over, it gets more sad. Fuck my life. I had two guys that left the room cursing me for getting that movie. Everyone that has a dog should rent the movie Hachi and watch it. And the fact that it is a true story what makes it all that special.

Akitas are amazing dogs, they seem to have the spirit of the Samurai inside them. I believe they were used in feudal Japan to kill Bears.
