Hachikō ... based on a true love story

I've just finished the movie Hachiko: A Dog's Story. I was crying much worse than I did for Marley & Me. It wasn't sadness that brings the flow, it was a sense of guiltiness and inadequacy....wondering why ignorant humans can't even be compared to the smallest portion of a dog's loyalty, love and passion.

I wasn't sad that Hachi's master passed away in a sudden. My heart didn't break knowing that despite his master's fate, Hachi decided to stay keep and wait at the train station. What makes me going weak was knowing that it took all 9 years for Hachi to wait....and only by the end of Hachi's breath, was Hachi able to meet with his master again. It took Hachi 9 damn years...but Hachi never gave up. Not a single day. Hachi never missed any trains that his master could possibly commuted. Hachi just waited...through thick and thin. That's Hachi's love.

What about You, humans? How long could you possibly wait for someone whom you said you've loved? 9 hours? 9 days? Human's experience told me 8 days. It only took 8 days of waiting at the train station to give up of love known for 6 years.

And God gave humans ability of speech, emotions, expressions...but God only gave Hachi the warmest four-legged gift.

And even though Hachi could not speak about love, Hachi took 9 years to prove the strongest bonds ever...just to show You what love really means...
