This is based on a very nice Japanese movie, which is also based on a traditional Japanese story about the loyalty and love of a dog. Should be a great movie.
Update: Hat tip to Blisstree for posting this video earlier today. That’s where I discovered this.


I’ve heard/read the original true story many times. I don’t know if I can watch the movie, I teared up just from the clip
but, like many people I am also concerned that we will have a My Dog Skip/101 Dalmatians/Beethoven public response on Akitas which could be just horrendous for the breed 
Unfortunately, that will happen to just about every breed featured on TV or in a movie. As long as there are puppy mills and puppy stores…..
