Pics main problem is that its human story lacks drama Hachis the central attraction. Day after day he returned to the train station to wait and along the way instill love, compassion and loyalty to all who came in contact with him at the station.īased on a true story, this film is a heartwarming while heart-breaking story of loyalty. But the loyalty Hachi had for Parker stays with this dog for years. Then one day Parker became ill and never returned.

Parker and Hachi (a name that was derived from a Chinese symbol from a tag that he wore) became inseparable. One day as he returns he finds this small puppy and takes him home.

I think I was born to love horses! When I was a kid, that's all I thought about. All the movies mentioned give a glimpse of real-life. Im a proud Southerner, and I love movies about the South not just movies set in the South but actually about the South and Southerners.
