Remember Hachiko? We saw his bronze statue outside the Shibuya Train Station when we visited Japan during our honeymoon?
Just watched the movie "Hachiko: A Dog's Story", the American version starring Richard Gere. I was really touched by the show.. At one of the very last scenes of the show, Hachi went to the train station in the middle of the night. He would go there actually at around evening for many years to wait for his owner, Parker Wilson (music professor), to come out from the train station after work, even many years after his death.
So that cold lonely night, Hachiko fell asleep for one last time outside the train station. He saw Mr Parker coming out of the train station to fetch him for one last time... bringing him up to heaven. Hachi looked so contented.
I broke down when I saw this scene.. don't ask me why... you know me best my dear. You know how I feel now. The day will come...
