Viewed in Wonderland: Hachiko

Warning: If you have a dog this will probably make you cry!

Here are two versions of a true story. The first one is just clips set to music from a 1987 Japanese film and the second one is the trailer for a 2009 american version.

  2. That statue was actually buily twice. The first time it was used for the war effort , but after the war the had the original sculptor's son remake it. Hachiko was also there for the dedication of the statue and his body is preserved at the Akita museum in Japan.
