Hachiko Behind The Scenes Clip
(Filming of Hachiko took place in Rhodes Island.)
The movie Hachiko it’s the tale of a long-life devotion of a dog to its owner, it is based on a true story that took place in Japan not so long ago.

This is NOT the dog for everyone. Please visit the Akita Club of America website for more information if you think this may be a dog your interested in. With Akita ownership there comes much responsibility. They are large powerful dogs who may not get along with other animals.
Keeterdog is very right. The akita was originally bred to hunt bear and fight. They take lots of training and socialization. They are also known for being tough to train. So please go to the Akita Club of Americas website and read everything you can. This is actually good advice before you get any dog.
What a lovely dog! If those akitas are as annoying as you two describe then it will be the perfect gift for my mother in law’s birthday!
She won’t guess the evil trick I’m plotting and will fall into the doggy trap! muhahha!
Can’t wait to see this film! I love the story of Hachiko! A friend had an Akita, and they are large, strong and very independent animals. Very king-of-the-hill attitude. You need to be firm to handle these guys. Hopefully this film will bring positive attention to all animal related issues!
Akita’s are smart, strong and beautiful. Healthy also. The breed was “bred up” from the most ancient of the Japanese dogs, the Shiba Inu, which is a 20 lb dog more or less. The puppy shown with Gere is a shiba puppy, not an Akita. The Akita is a good watch dog, but it was bred for things that are done with muscle and aggression, which means the largest and most aggressive of the litters can be a handful. On the otherhand, a shiba is manageable, smart, funny, beautiful and healthy. I recommend a shiba over an Akita.
love this movie
