is a movie, starring Richard Gere, based on a true story about a dog named Hachiko. Hachiko is an Akita breed who lived with his owner, a professor, in Tokyo in the 1920s. He waits at the train station each day for the scheduled train, for his owner to return home from work. One day, his owner never returned. He died at work that day. But Hachiko continued to show up at the train station, on the same schedule, for many years.
an extremely beautiful dog as Hachi but do not go and get yourself an Akita just from watching Hachi
You should always consider whether there will be someone reliable to take care of your dog or pet should you not be able to return home one day. If you are on your own, then you should probably not get a pet merely to keep you company. That is plain selfish. Pets can’t refill their own waterbowls when it dries up. They can’t open the door to get out if there is a fire. They need you to be around for them.
Hachiko has a statue erected to commemorate him, just outside Shibuya station. It has become a popular meeting place in crowded Shibuya.
One Comment to Hachi.
