An IMDb Review: One of the best animal movie of all times:Screenshots:
Even as one of the few movies where an animal is the main character, this one is special. It's about a relation between a man and a dog like no other, and gives a new meaning to the phrase "Man's best friend.".
Based on a story of a real dog Hachi that waited for his deceased master for 9 years in Tokyo's Shibuya station, Hachi is a moving story about dog's loyalty that transcends animal - human barrier. Nowhere in the world has a story of this likes has been reported, and in his native Japan, Hachi is still the symbol of how families should be faithful to one another. This is no ordinary animal's movie as the animal not only gets the top billing, but gets it above a Hollywood A list actor Richard Gere. Although the movie's setting is transplanted to a town in Rhode Island, the story is essentially the same as that of the original Hachi. Richard Gere makes his second appearance on a Japan themed movie, first being "Shall we Dance ?", as the University professor.
For the real dog Hachi, a bronze statue of him was erected in 1948 at Shibuya station in front of an exit that now bears his name "Shibuya eki Hachi ko guchi" (Shibuya Station Hachi Ko Exit), and is a popular landmark for people to use as a meeting place.
This certainly is one of the best movie Richard Gere starred in, and also one of the best animal movie of all times. It will move you in a way no other movie would, and is highly recommended for viewing.
