It tells a touching story about a loyal dog named Ba Tong who waited for the return of his owner for ten years even after his owner's death. University professor Chen Jing Xiu meets a puppy on the street and secretly takes it home out of pity. However, his wife Li Jia Zhen blows up at the "family meeting" and scolds him for violating their agreement before marriage to not have dogs at home. Given that their son Chen Xin Qiao and daughter Chen Xiao Zhou keep adding oil to the fire, the puppy seems to have become the source of a lot of trouble in the family. Nonetheless, Ba Tong also opens doors to a joyful story between the Chen family and their beloved canine. (Source: ChineseDrama.info) Edit Translation

Heartfelt story about a dog and his Master
I was searching for the dog who acted in Si Jin and Mysterious Lotus Casebook, and discovered he made a movie, Hachiko. It is a remake of the Japanese movie that I watched several years ago. I cried watching that movie.Botang was a warrior, from puppy to end of life. He knew that Professor Chen was his one true love and father. He waited every night for his return from work. That loyalty lived beyond his father's death. For ten years, Botang, now a stray dog, searched far and wide, and waited every night at the train station for his master's return, until his heart stopped beating one day. I am sad that Batong was homeless for ten years. He survived so long, growing old and emaciated. In the end his father returned, and took the puppy Botang with him on the tram to Heaven. The ending is beautiful but sad.
The production company made a dog movie that showed compassion, empathy, loyalty and endurance. The many dogs that portrayed Botang, from puppy to adult dog, ultimately stole the show.
