[2026 原创]Hachi: A Dog’s Tale is a 2009 American movie based on a true story from Japan. It tells about the special friendship between a man and his dog.
The story begins when Professor Parker Wilson finds a lost puppy at a train station. The small dog gets lost. Parker takes the puppy home for one night. He wants to find the dog's owner, but nobody comes for it.
Parker’s wife doesn’t want to keep the dog at first. However, she sees how much Parker and the puppy love each other, so she agrees. Parker names the dog “Hachi” because the Japanese word for eight is on his collar.
Every day, Parker takes the train to work. Hachi starts following him to the station. When Parker comes back at 5:00 p. m., Hachi is always waiting there. This becomes their daily routine.
One day, something terrible happens. Parker has a heart problem at work and dies suddenly. But Hachi doesn’t know this. He waits at the station for his master to come home. He waits and waits, but Parker never comes.
Parker’s family tries to help Hachi understand, but the dog keeps going back to the station. Every single day for about ten years, Hachi sits in the same spot, waiting for his friend. Kind people at the station give him food and water.
Finally, when Hachi is very old, he dies at the station while dreaming about Parker. This story shows us what true loyalty means. Even today, there is a statue of Hachi at a train station in Japan to remember this faithful dog.
