Hachi: A dog’s
Tale
A college professor named Parker finds a small,
cute lost dog at the station. Parker brings it to his own house and tries to
find its owner, but gets no results. At first, his wife doesn’t like the dog
and wants to send it out, until she realizes her daughter and husband’s deep
love for this dog. She accepts it and the family calls it “Hachi”. Hachi accompanies
Parker every morning to see him get on the train and waits for him to get off
the train at 5 o’clock every afternoon. During their free time, Parker tries to
teach Hachi to pick up the ball he throws, but Hachi never picks it up. Time
flies, and Hachi becomes a big dog and Parker gets older. One day, Hachi picks
the ball for the first time and tries to prevent Parker from getting on the
train and going to work. And on that day, Parker dies at the university because
of heart disease. Naturally, Hachi doesn’t know about her death and still waits
for Parker every afternoon. Parker’s family tries to bring Hachi to their new
house but he runs away to the station to wait for Parker. Hachi waits for
Parker for 8 years until he dies at the station.
It is a really touching movie that makes me
cry. It’s a real story that happened in Japan. Dogs are the friends of humans
and they give people true love. Most surely true love between people and
animals, too, as shown in this film. The persistence of Hachi touches me and
let me know the most valuable thing in this world is love, even the love from
animals.
