This is a simple story about a loyal dog. There is no intricate plot, and even it is only a straight still, but it was still moved me deeply with its most simple pieces of normal life which we can easily find around us such as the train station, the restaurant, the food stand and a warm home. Maybe you will only think it is a moving film; maybe you had been impressed by the loyal of the dog; or maybe you will think there is nothing special and it is just a movie. But I view it differently.

The story is rearranged by a real story. Hatchi is an unusual dog which belongs to akita. The real Hatchi, the dog in this story, was born in Odatr Japan in 1923. As soon as his master Dr. Eisabour Uero, a professor at Tokyo University, died in May 1925. Hatchi returned to the Shibuya train station the next day after professor died and for the next nine years to wait, until Hatchi himself died.

In the movie Hatchi crossed an ocean and thousands of miles of transportation by train, and then he met Parker （the

main actor）in a snowy day. Because it was snowing and the dog, Hatchi, was lost. Parker took Hatchi back to his home, and then kept it. Parker treated it very well and so did Hatchi. When Hatchi had grown up, he fetched parker to work everyday.

All these years they played together, bathed together, slept together and Parker gave Hatchi full-body massage everyday. They just look like a couple. Parker looks happy because Hatchi is happy, and Hatchi’s happy due to Parker being happy. But Hatchi never fetched ball for anyone even Parker, so he went to his Japanese friend, Ken, for help. Ken told Parker that the akita will never get the ball unless there are some special reasons. However, Parker didn’t notice what Ken told him. In the morning of last day of Parker’s life, Hatchi felt that something bad would happen to Parker, and it tried his best to stop Parker going to work, and Hatchi fetched ball for Parker to tell him to stop. But it was pity that Parker only paid all his attention to Hatchi’s first fetching and ignored the special reasons of fetching. He said “Come on boy, I have to go to work or I’ll be late. See you at 5. Stay! Go home! Go on.”Finally, the old professor, Parker, hadn’t come back as he said,

and he will never come back. He broke the engagement he made with Hatchi. He left everybody on the earth up to heaven. As the old professor’s friends and relatives nobody could accepted the fact that Parker has dead. As the result, professor’s wife, Kate, escaped all the staff which will let she recall the memories about Parker, so she sold the house where they used to live and was away from the small town. Meanwhile she sent Hatchi to her daughter, but Hatchi always ran out of her house, and try its best to back to station, because Hatchi and professor had a deal to meet each other. He’s so firmly persisted on the engagement that Parker’s daughter, Andy, had to gave up and let it go. While, have you ever noticed the detail that how unwilling Hatchi was when it left professor, because Hatchi can’t apart with Andy, too. But he missed Parker too much, he had to Andy and his warm home.

Then Hatchi spent ten years waiting for his master, his only friend coming back. Ten years time, maybe it is just one-tenth of a human life, but for a dog that means its whole life. During those years Hatchi hadn’t exact place to live, just come and go to the train station everyday at the same place and time.
