    Never heard of it....don't think I want to see it if I made you bawl. LoL.

    I have a 4yr old beagle, and one of her puppies (mixed with Pitt).

    i saw it. sad but heartwarming story.

    i have one question about it...what was up with that one scene towards the end of the money where jason alexander's character briefly turned spiteful and fame-hungry?? thought that was a bit odd and out-of-place, and nothing really came of it.

    Introduce family.

    Family gets dog.

    Dog eats, breaks, bites something or someone.

    Insert "We must get rid of that dog!" "No, we must keep the dog" argument.

    Add new family members with either children or other pets and a struggle.

    OPTIONAL: dog gets disease or survives an accident.

    Main dog dies.

    The end.

    Hmmm... what movie does that sound like? I think I've seen it. :p

    Yes I agree that is a basic formula for a man/dog movie. Marley and Me is that exact movie which was also based on a true story. Hachiko is a much older story and it's slightly different in that

    SPOILER ALERT... well not really if you know the story of hachi.

    -Dog Finds Man
    -Man brings Dog Home
    -Wife says get rid of Dog
    -Man tries but starts to fall in love with Dog
    -Wife sees how happy man is with dog
    -Wife says okay to keeping dog
    -Man goes to work
    -Dog surprisingly waits for man at train station
    -Bond grows between man and dog
    -Man Dies
    -Dog WEEPS
    -Dog continues to wait for man at train station till dog dies after 9 years.

    :(
