Parker (Richard Gere) finds a lost puppy (Hachi) at his local train station. Not wanting to hand the puppy over to the dog pound, Parker takes it back home with him.
Banned by his wife Cate (Joan Allen) from having another dog, Parker hides Hachi to the best of his ability but due to Hachi's mischievous behaviour Cate soon finds out.
No one comes forward to claim Hachi and he and Parker become so inseparable that Cate cannot help but accept the mystery puppy into their family.
Each morning Hachi accompanies Parker to the station and faithfully returns to greet his master each evening at exactly the same time.
Through his daily journeys to the station, Hachi becomes a regular fixture of the community and an inspiring symbol of love, friendship and loyalty to all who meet him.
