Thank you Sondra for making me cry yet once again over this.
I have the movie & I have watched it only once. It is a great movie, but when Hachi waits for his master for all those years, it just made me cry a bunch. I had a dog that was that attached to me & I have one now that would do that at least to some extent.
What is so touching & sad at the same time is how the guy tried for years to get Hachi to play ball. On that last day he ever sees him again, Hachi goes to the train station with the ball. For anyone who hasn't seen the movie & has known a dog like Hachi., I suggest you watch it!
