Hachi

(old draft of a blog I never finished, FYI)
I just finished watching a beautifully sad story about a dog named  Hachi. He was found as a puppy by a professor and lived with him for years. Hachi would dig out of the backyard to get to the train station everyday and wait for his owner to arrive. Everyday for...decades! One day the professor didn't get off the train. He had died unexpectedly. The daughter tried to take over care of Hachi but each day he would escape to the train station. He would wait in that same location everyday for the next 10 years. PS, this was a true story. The dog finally stopped waiting for his master to come to him and he went to him, dying...going to find his owner in the afterlife.

What in the world is so prevalent in dogs that we as human being can't seem to master?...Loyalty...unconditional love. This movie is so worth watching! Warning: Bring your Kleenex!
