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.
