While watching the movie "Hachi", one cannot but help feel the emotions of sadness and love portrayed throughout the entire story of a Japanese-bred Akita Inu puppy that is found abandoned at a train station by a college professor who befriends the dog and takes it home. Hachi, the dog, becomes very loyal to the professor, following and waiting for him at the train station each day.
Much can be learned about loyalty from this movie. I cannot help wonder how loyal people are to each other, in comparison to dogs. We grow up learning life's values, trying to put them to good use. However, as we go through life, we tend to stray from proper values. This is evident in today's marriages, which seem to fall from the wayside, having lost the true meaning of "till death do we part", and more as a paper formality. We seem to have lost the value of Christian faith and loyalty of love.
Hachi proves the love and friendship a dog shared with its master, something that all of us need to bring back into our own relationships and future lives. We cannot let ourselves lose our life's values to trivial wants, but rather stick to the moral rights and obligations we have as Christians......because that is the way it is.
