Hachiko: A Dog’s Story

Synopsis

by Miguelle Relucio

Hachiko is a story of a dog whose never-ending loyalty and love was dedicated to his master even after the latter’s death. The story started when a boy narrates in class about his life hero, Hachiko, his grandfather’s dog. Some years back, an Akita puppy is sent from Japan to the United States, but his cage falls off the baggage cart in an American train station, and as Professor Parker Wilson is making his way home from work, he sees Hachi walking around, and he picks him up to find his owner. At first, he is not eager to adopt Hachi as his wife does not like the idea of it, but when his wife sees how much he cares for and enjoys being with Hachi, she agrees to adopt Hachi and make him part of their family. Hachi becomes close to the members of their family, including their only child and daughter, and especially to Professor Parker.
