A beautiful true story!

There are many films that I like, but I am going to talk about one of these. 

The film is “Siempre a tu lado” in Spanish, but the original title is “Hachiko: A dog`s story”. I saw this film about two years ago with my family. It`s an American drama film, about a true story from Japan.

The film is about a man, who is interpreted by the actor Richard Gere, he is a teacher and his name is Wilson Parker, he has to take the train everyday to go to his job. One day he finds a dog in the train station and he is captivated by the dog and he decides to take the puppy to his home overnight.

The next day Parker thinks that someone is going to be looking for the dog, but nobody does this. A friend of Parker  helps to translate the symbols on the dog’ s collar and they discover that the mane of the dog is Hachiko, he is an Akita, a Japanese dog. Parker decides to take care of the dog and he calls him Hachi. At the beginning his wife doesn`t want to take the dog home but when she sees how her husband plays with him, she decides to accept the puppy, and they adopt him.

Parker and Hachi are very good friends, Hachi goes with his boss every morning to leave him at the train station and in the afternoon Hachi waits patiently  for Parker to go home with him.  One day Parker is working and he suddenly suffers a heart attack and dies. While, Hachi is waiting that the train arrives, but there isn`t sign of Parker. The next day, Hachi returns to the station and waits for a long time… 

Parker´s wife sells the house and Hachi is sent to live with her daughter, but Hachi escapes and goes back to his old house and then to the train station. Years after the wife visits Parker's grave and she sees Hachi waiting at the station. After that the old Hachi has visions of Parker and he dies. The two spirits meet in heaven.
