Hashiko: (Siempre a tu lado )

One night, a professor (Richard Gere) found a little puppy in the train station, I think it was love to the first sight; the professor wife she wasn’t so happy with having a new dog in the house, but then when she look at her husband playing with Hashi, she saw true love for the dog, afterwards Hashi was part of the family. But this kind of dog has and especial power is the dog that chooses his master. Hashi is an Akita a millenarian Japanese dog breed.
The professor always makes the same route, he traveled by train everyday and Hashi waited for his master every day. But sadly one day the Professor didn’t arrive, because he was dead. Hashi was disconcerted and a little confused. His master was gone, he spend all his life waiting for his master in the train station. Hashi it was famous. When the time past, after 10 year waiting for the professor, Hashi dies, and finally he can be with his master in the heaven.
My opinion of this movie is just a touching heart story, the tenderness of the dog and his audacity, and the love of this family to the dog is just wonderful.
Also is important that this film is a real story, in a city call Odate (Japan), now in the place where Hashiko waited for his master. There is a statue in appreciation of loyalty.
This story is just about love, loyalty and hope between a dog and his master.
