Although his wife (Joan Allen) strongly opposes it and tries her best to send it away, seeing that her husband and daughter love it meticulously, she finally decides to make it a member of the family, and Parker names it "Hachiko".
Hachiko grew up with Parker's family and gradually turned from a puppy into a behemoth. Hachiko accompanied Parker to work on time every day, and appeared at the station gate at five o'clock in the evening to greet Parker from work.
On the day Hachiko learns to pick up the ball, Parker is happy and proud, but it is also a precious memory of the last time the two of them.
On that very day, Parker suddenly collapsed during a college class, died of a sudden heart attack, and never returned to the station.
After that, every day at five o'clock in the evening, Hachiko came to the train station to wait and stare. For nine years, from summer to autumn, Hachiko remained untouched until it finally died.
