A Loyal Dog


Just now, after my violin lesson, my teacher Leon introduced me a movie
called "Hachiko - A Dog's Tale". It is a true story that happened in Japan.
When Leon related the story to me, I was moved to tears.....T.T
He said that after the show, he noticed most of the audience had red teary eyes except HIM.
Anyway, I know he was probably lying lor..coz I could see that his eyes were a bit teary even when he was telling me the story.......kakaka! XDDD





An American adaptation of a Japanese tale about a loyal dog named Hachiko. This very special friend would accompany his master to the train station every day and return each afternoon to greet him after work. Sadly his master departs one day, passes away and never returns to the station. Hachiko faithfully returns to the same spot at the station the very next day, and every day for the next nine years to wait for his beloved master. During his daily visits, Hachiko touches the lives of many who work near and commute through the town square. He teaches the local people love, compassion and above all unyielding loyalty. Today, a bronze statue of Hachiko sits in his waiting spot outside the Shibuya station in Japan as a permanent reminder of his devotion and love.



This is the real Hachiko..I guess everyone would like him a lot
