"Hachiko's Loyalty"

I watched the American version of Hachiko a long time ago, and was deeply moved. Today, I watched the Japanese version, Hachiko, and I was moved again. The film mainly talks about a well-known professor who is super caring and a loyal dog. The story of the time, since the professor decided to raise Hachiko, he treated Hachiko as his own child, and even took a bath with Hachiko. He was so good to Hachiko that even his own wife was jealous, of course. Hachiko also regards the professor as his closest person, and picks up the professor to and from get off work on time every day, until one day the professor passed away due to a sudden illness and never came back, but Hachiko still insists on arriving at the train station on time every day to wait for its owner, but Until it reached the end of its life, it could not wait for its owner. The feelings between people and animals can be so touching, but there are very few pure feelings between people. In fact, the feelings are mutual, how you treat others will also treat you, but get along The object must be worth paying for, and those who only know how to ask and don’t know how to pay should stay away as soon as possible. I think the professor would be proud of having such a loyal dog as Hachiko, and Hachiko would feel that it was worth waiting for his owner all his life.

    Hachiko's "original flavor" is still in the Japanese version. After the professor's death, the people who were related to Hachiko's coldness towards Hachiko are inconspicuous in front of his consistent enthusiasm. In the long shot at the end of the film, no one cares about the death of this "friend of mankind". It seems to be a kind of irony, people abandon their loyal friends, but wait for them to use their lives to keep the spirit of mankind. Except for the professor, no one can afford this waiting.

    Like the professor's saying: people have personalities, and dogs also have "dog personality". The homepage of the Japan Animal Care Management Center reads: 1. Animals that can no longer be kept, please do not throw them away (they used to be free, but now they can be taken over by the protection center for only 2,000 yen). 2. Abandonment and cruelty to animals are crimes. 3. Those who abandon animals shall be fined not more than 500,000 yen. 4. Those who kill or injure animals shall be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than one year or a fine of not more than 1 million yuan.
