It was based on a true story about a professor and his Japanese Akita dog. Everyday, the dog follows his master to the train station and waits him off the train in the afternoon. Until one day, his master had a heart attack and never return, leaving his dog waiting faithfully for him at the train station. Hatchi returns to the train station every afternoon to wait for his master's return. This lasts for the next nine years.
A dog is more than a best friend to this movie. I realized that this dog can do more than a human. Then I thought of fathers and mothers who abandoned their child. Or a child forgets his mother. Or a husband and wife for so many years then separates. Hatchi shows us that we can also be faithful, loving, submissive, and dependable to our loved ones and to our true Master, God. When we love, we shouldn't ask in return, but instead we should give more. We can give more than what a dog can give.
I am scared of owning a pet. I'm afraid to be attached, I'm afraid that I might love him more. I remembered when I was a kid, we had a pet dog, he died after some years and I felt so sad and can't move on. He's a part of the family and it's like losing a true friend. From then on, I'm afraid to own a pet. I fear of losing him.
Hatchi's story was told more than 70 yrs. ago and will continue to inspire people to LOVE and be FAITHFUL.
