Amazon Hot New Pet Film Release -- Hachi: A Dog's Tale
Get your tissue box ready. Based on a true story from 1930's Japan, Hachi: A Dog's Tale
, is a new film about pet love and loyalty. Part of this movie is viewed from the dog's perspective. It is directed by Academy Award-nominated director Lasse Hallström (2000, The Cider House Rules).
A college music professor Parker Wilson, played by Richard Gere, finds a young Akita puppy abandoned at the local train station. He has a strong sense of town and community and assumes the dog's owner will return to the train station to claim him in the morning. Parker takes the puppy home overnight, but when no one comes to get the dog, Parker convinces his reluctant wife, Cate (Joan Allen), to adopt the pup into their family. He names the puppy Hachiko--Hachi, for short--because of the Japanese symbol for good luck that's hanging from his collar.
