好莱坞版还没上映，就先看1987年日本的原版Hachiko Monogatari。可能对狗特别有感情，看到真的哭了。世上有什么比狗更忠心更有情意呢？狗，你喂它三餐，它忠心于你一世。有时候，真的觉得它们有点单纯，少少的爱戴它就终生忠心于你，无条件的保护你，跟你一世。Hachi是一只纯Akita狗，现在也应该很难看到吧。它们适当于居住在天气比较寒冷的地方。Akita狗不是没个国家普遍的种类。

Hachi自从主人死去，就开始它的流浪生涯，有亲人养过，但是没办法长久，因为它的心永远都效忠于它的主人上野英三郎教授。每到下班时间，就会在火车站门口等待它的主人。连续的，等了八年，等了不会回来的主人八年。没有铜像，真的有点对不起它不屈不饶的精神。Akita就这样被人吁它为”忠犬”。有时后，真的希望Hachi聪明一点，不要浪费心机等待不会回来的主人，至少不会看到它折磨自己。八年过后，它就在车站等待主人的位置，死了（电影的剧情）。最摇动感情的一段，就是最后一幕，它终于和主人重逢，但却是相遇再另一个世界，依然那么的忠心耿耿。

有人说动物是没有感情的，但是Hachi的故事却推翻了这个理论，Hachi充满希望，希望有一天主人会回来，它等的也就是为了这个希望。狗的单纯，体现了很多优良的榜样和精神，反射了人类自私和无道德理念的一面。人喜欢用禽兽都不如辱骂人家，那我说人类狗都不如，用狗来做比较好像太给脸了。聪明不代表一切。Pulau Ketam的事件，就证实了人类没教养及恐怖的一面。

“Publication
That same year, another of Ueno’s faithful students (who had become something of an expert on the Akita breed) saw the dog at the station and followed him to the Kobayashi home where he learned the history of Hachikō’s life. Shortly after this meeting, the former student published a documented census of Akitas in Japan. His research found only 30 purebred Akitas remaining, including Hachikō from Shibuya Station. Professor Ueno’s former student returned frequently to visit the dog and over the years published several articles about Hachikō’s remarkable loyalty. In 1932 one of these articles, published in Tokyo’s largest newspaper, threw the dog into the national spotlight. Hachikō became a national sensation. His faithfulness to his master’s memory impressed the people of Japan as a spirit of family loyalty all should strive to achieve. Teachers and parents used Hachikō’s vigil as an example for children to follow. A well-known Japanese artist rendered a sculpture of the dog, and throughout the country a new awareness of the Akita breed grew. Eventually, Hachikō’s legendary faithfulness became a national symbol of loyalty.” from wiki
