I just finished watching 'Hachiko: A Dog's Story', and it made my cry real hard.

Not all movies are able to make me cry, but this is one of the movie that suceeded in making my tears flow down like tap water. I was sobbing, k? It is so damn touching, I can't even imagine Hachi's loyalty to its owner. Maybe the reason I find it so touching is because I love dogs. Ever since I was young, I always wanted to have a dog but mummy doesn't like it. And I remembered I always envy my friends/people who reared dogs and hope I can be like them.

When its owner had pass on, he was still waiting for its owner to return, at the same spot, same time where he used to wait when its owner he was still alive. Can you imagine? Be it rain or shine, autumn or fall, Hachi will always appear at the same spot punctually without fail... till the day it died.

Oh my god, this movie is making me emotionally unstable. So, so sad. We, humans should be ashamed. We ought to learn from Hachi.

I would like to have a dog like Hachi, and visit Japan, Shibuya Railroad Station to visit and pay tribute to Hachi's statue. The statue was built to commemorate this faithful dog, the same spot where it waited for its owner and pass on.

Not forgetting Kokuritsu Kagaku Hakubutsukan (Japan National Science Museum), to see the 'real' Hachi, he was kind of preserved/mummified.

I love Akita more than Husky now. Haha.

Got to go for reunion dinner now.

Later.
