Such a wonderful tale of a dog's devotion to his master. A little sad at the end but well worth watching.

Throughout the first half of this film, I wondered why so many people thought it was great...I wasn't very impressed. Then the plot turns and Hachi melts your heart. I still cannot believe how much I cried throughout the 2nd half. Very very sweet story, what makes it so compelling is that it is based on a true story.

A great movie for the family...a man finds a loney dog in the train station and decides to raise him as part of the family...the dog is not only beautiful but very faithful...he waits for the owner everyday, at the train station, to return home, until one day, when he does not...extremley sad...
