A Dog’s Story

In recent years, the film “Hachiko—A Dog’s Story” has been very popular. It is mainly about an impressive story between a loyal dog and a professor. As far I am concerned, there are many things we can learn from the film.

To begin with, I believe that most people who have watched this film were moved by the dog’s loyalty. The dog has waited for his owner for a lifetime and hid loyal behavior has taught us never forget anyone we loved—the meaning of loyalty. We can learn that we should try to get along with each other with true affection and never betray in an intimated relationship so that we can strengthen our relationship and understand each other better. And we should believe that there is still a true affection in the world. Like my parents told me, treat every person the same, even your enemies. Jesus also told us to love our enemies. Everyone lives only one life, however you treat others, you will end in death, so why not be a nice person and make the world proud of your existence?

Another thing we can learn from the film is to value what we have. In other words, we should learn to count our fortunes. What we own is always unique and cannot be replaced by others, so we have to value what we have. As the saying goes, “Tree prefers calm while wind not subsides; Son chooses filial while parents died”. We should never be regretful until losing.

Finally, we should learn to treat our pets well because they are also our friends and even our family members. The meaning is not deep, but the reflection of the dog is people that are always around us and with us, but we realizes their importance only when we lose them. Here is a sentence from one of my favorite song Let Her Go: "Only know you love her when you let her go."
