Hachi: A Dog's Tale

A 2009 American drama film based on a true story of the faithful Akita Hachiko. It is a remake of the 1987 Japanese film Hachiko Monogatari.


A college professor (Gere) takes in an abandoned dog, Hachi, and they form an unbreakable bond. After the professor dies while away from home, the dog keeps vigil waiting for his master for nearly a decade.


It is a heartwarming tale of loyalty, about how people and dogs are more than just friends. Most of all, it is about how a dog's love for its master never fades - even after his/ her death!

What an incredibly touching story! Hachiko was such a great dog!


The people of Japan was so touched by this heartfelt example of a dog's devotion for his owner that a bronze statue in Hachiko's likeness was erected at Shibuya Station.
