Seventh graders have watched this amazing and moving film with Richard Gere and Hachi, a Japanese Akita Dog. A few boys were really moved and some girls shed tears.Hachi is based on the life of a real dog in Japan named Hachiko. In 1924-25, the Akita sent off and welcomed back his master, a professor, everyday at the train station. But in 1925, the professor had a stroke and died, never to return home. For the next ten years, Hachi waited for the train that would never bring back his master. When a former student of the professor discovered Hachi’s tireless love and devotion, he wrote about the dog and the Akita gained national attention. Today, a statue of Hachi stands on the spot of the real Hachi’s vigil.
