The story is about Parker, a university professor who picked up a lost puppy at the train station on his way home from get off work, and raised it in his home because he couldn't find its owner. Gradually, a deep bond developed between the puppy and its new owner. It accompanies Parker to work every morning, and waits for Parker to get off work at the train station on time every night. Suddenly one day, Hachiko refused to let him go to work, and even asked him to accompany him to play a game of tossing balls that he never caught cold. Unexpectedly, Parker died of a heart attack in class on this day. Since then, Hachiko has been guarding the gate of the train station waiting for his master to return from get off work. No matter whether it is cold, hot, rainy or snowy, it has never stopped. Even if Parker's relatives have left, he still insists.
When Parker's wife Andy returned to her hometown after N years, she was shocked when she suddenly saw the old-fashioned Hachiko still lying on the flower bed at the entrance of the train station. Having never liked pets, she hugged Hachiko tightly, like an old friend reunited after a long absence. Seeing this, I also burst into tears. I think that when Andy saw Hachiko, he would also think of the scene where his husband and the puppy were playing in the yard.
In the end, Hachiko finally died of old age in front of the train station that he had been waiting for all his life. As it was dying, it seemed to return to when it was a child, and the owner came out from behind the door, stroked its head, and went home together.
I don't keep dogs. In fact, I wouldn't have any pets, and even the most livable fish would die under my "careful" care, even a pot of flowers. But when I watch this movie, I seem to see the deep friendship between old friends, the love and understanding between family members - they don't need words to understand each other's hearts. It's not just a dog, it's an important member of the Parker family.
