Chuken Hachiko ( Faithful dog Hachiko ) Hachi means eight, a number referring to the dog's birth order and Ko meaning prince. Hachiko was an Akita dog remembered for his loyalty to his owner, even many years after his owner's death.
During his owner's life, Hachiko would greet him at the end of each day at the train station. The pair continued their daily routine for months. But one day his owner never returned...turns out he suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage and died, never returning to the train station where Hachiko is waiting.
Hachiko was given away but he would escape over and over and would return to his late master's home. After a while, Hachiko realized that his master no longer live at the house. So off he went to the train station and would wait for him to come back. Everyday for nine years, Hachiko waited for his master's return.
"Love and Loyalty" succinctly sums up the film. The love so simple, so pure and the loyalty so unfailing, so steadfast that it would melt any steel heart.
