I should have more accurately said Netflix rules my movie watching life through their suggestions.

The Japanese one was an Akita named Hachiko who went to the train station every day for 8 years at the exact same time waiting for his dead owner to return. There's a statue of him that's a popular meeting place and a stop on the train named after him too. At the time, there were only 30 pure bred Akitas left in all of Japan and his popularity literally saved the breed. He was used in WWII for propaganda, extolling his loyalty. I was going to write about him last year but then Richard Gere made a movie about him so I dropped it.cyurkaninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10544849696034906766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-781329426295611964.post-7567603933072706712010-11-20T07:01:32.026-06:002010-11-20T07:01:32.026-06:00+JMJ+
