This is a movie about a dog named Hachikō (ハチ公?, November 10, 1923–March 8, 1935) which remembered for his loyalty to his owner. This isn't a movie about a dog doing tricks, just saying.
The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return on the usual train one evening. The professor had suffered a heart attack at the university that day. He died and never returned to the train station where his friend was waiting.
Hachikō was given away after his master's death, but he routinely escaped, showing up again and again at his old home. Eventually, Hachikō apparently realized that Professor Ueno no longer lived at the house. So he went to look for his master at the train station where he had accompanied him so many times before. Each day, Hachikō waited for Professor Ueno to return. And each day he did not see his friend among the commuters at the station.
The permanent fixture at the train station that was Hachikō attracted the attention of other commuters. Many of the people who frequented the Shibuya train station had seen Hachikō and Professor Ueno together each day. They brought Hachikō treats and food to nourish him during his wait.
This continued for nine years, with Hachikō appearing only in the evening time, precisely when the train was due at the station.
Hachi died on March 8, 1935
There are now two version of the movie, one is the original Japanese made back in the 1987 (Hachiko monogatari) and the latest one is the 2009 US-made (Hachiko: A Dog's Story).
Both of them based upon the same real life story of Hachi, an Akita dog, with slight differences about the settings and the story line of where Hachi was origin from. But they all share the same feeling and emotions when you watch it.
His faithfulness to his master's memory impressed the people of Japan as a spirit of family loyalty all should strive to achieve. Today you can see a monument to remind us about Hachi's loyalty in front of Shibuya Station.
