Featured review
The star of this film is an Akita. He is awesome. A professor raises him from puppy-hood and Hachi walks every day to a train station with his master. He remains at the entrance until his owner returns at the end of the day. The man dies and the dog continues to walk to the station every day for several years awaiting the return of his master. the people are secondary in this true story from the 1920s-1930s. An American remake was done with Richard Gere but I have not seen it. I highly recommend Hachi-Ko
