The owner of Hachiko is played by Richard Gere in the film, and it seems to me that this actor was the best way possible to embody the image of a kind professor on the screen. We see how the protagonist's affection for his pet is gradually born. Despite the tricks of the young Hachiko, Parker hesitates to kick the puppy out of the house. He sincerely loves him and cares about him, and the grown dog responds in kind to the owner.

Hachiko goes every day to meet his professor from work at the station. Even when Parker suddenly has a stroke and the hero dies right at the university, the dog continues to expect him. Every day at the same time, Hachiko comes and lays down at his place at the station. And so on until the end of his days.

Every time I watch these scenes, tears come to my eyes. Is an animal really capable of such strong affection? And the answer to this question, of course, is "Yes!"
