HACHI

This review is dedicated to a friend of mine who just recently lost his best friend, Lulu... She will be greatly missed.


Where it seems all pet/animal movies trace the love we have for our beloved companions.... That's where this film stands alone. Looking thru the eyes of HACHI, we see the love, dedication, and patience this dog had for his master.

    When professor Parker Wilson (Richard Gere) stumbles across a stray puppy akita (Hachi) at the train station, He and his family, despite the hesitance from his wife Cate (Joan Allen) decide to share their home with Hachi. Hachi walks with his master to the train station every morning, and greets the professor every evening at the train station when he returns from work. Creating a huge bond between friends,a very loving, and dedicated companion. Based on a true story out of Japan, a very heartwarming... "Dog tale"... Great for all ages, enjoy! Thanks Todd, I was due for a good cry.
