And Hachi just knows that this is the time to show the professor that he can fetch. There is the romantic scene with his wife they are miraculously, not bickering. Right before he dies, everything in his life is perfect. Lastly, the scenes right before the professor's death was a little bit too melodramatic for my tastes.Why couldn't he live in the big house with the humans? And why did Hachi live in the shed? Poor dog.Shiba was designated a living national monument in 1936.

In the beginning of well known Hollywood movie Hachi: A Dog’s Tale (2009) producers used Shiba puppy instead of Akita. Why didn't anyone ever care about Hachi being off-leash? Of course he had to be for the story, but it doesn't quite fit in with a modernized version of the story. Shiba inu is the only original japanese breed that was not named after a particular region as it comes from a very large area in central Japan.
If you've ever seen Akita puppies, then you know that they are super cute and adorable too! Yun wonders why they didn't use Akita puppies. I loved the beginning when they used Shibas to depict the puppy stage. I finally got around to watching Hachi: A Dog's Tale this past weekend.
