What is the breed of dog in the movie "Hachiko"?.

A rare person does not dream of finding a reliable friend, even if on four legs and with a cold nose. The loyalty of dogs has been praised many times in art, but few legends compare in shrillness to Japanese history, on which two whole feature films were shot. People want to know what breed of dog is in the movie "Hachiko: the most loyal friend", so that someone equally devoted to them will be with them.

Both in the film and in the real story, the protagonist was the Akita Inu, one of the most authentic, oldest and most beloved Japanese breeds. It is believed that it was bred by crossing spitz dogs with mastiffs. Initially, these were hunter dogs, able to cope with a large beast. Today they are wonderful pets.

Richard Gere was lucky on the set to deal with three representatives of the Akita Inu: Chico, Leila and Forrest. Dogs of different ages were needed in order to lay the long life of the shaggy hero in a few hours.

The Japanese should not be asked what breed of dog was filmed in Hachiko. Residents of the Land of the Rising Sun are sensitive to friendship in general, and even to such selfless devotion - especially. Therefore, a person who does not know about Akita Inu will, without fail, not only be introduced to these favorites, but also be sent to the station where the monument to Hachiko is erected, to the museum where his effigy is exhibited, to the cemetery where his faithful friend is buried, or at least show a virtual pet cemetery.

Akita Inu is not a "stuffed animal" at all. Dogs of this breed are loyal only to the owner and obey only him. They will have tender feelings for all family members, and children can do anything with them at all, however, Japanese favorites are aggressive towards strangers. They protect the owner and his relatives, they are absolutely indifferent to others.
