HACHIKO: A DOG'S STORY (2009)

Some references on the internet (including IMDB which rated it 8.2/10) call this movie Hachiko: A Dog's Tail but officially it is A Dog's Story. So now you know if you are looking to buy the DVD on line.

Based on true events, the story is about Hahci, a Japanese Akita Inu dog that, as a puppy, finds a master and companion in Professor Parker Wilson (very well played by Richard Gere) and their life long bond which continues even long after the death of the master.

This is truly a heart rendering story of not only the undying loyalty of man's best friend but also how one dog can influence so many people that come in contact with him. Even if you are not a dog lover per se, this movie will touch you and is therefor highly recommended. I rated it 4 out of 5 stars.
