“(Second time sending this since it was deleted for no reason whatsoever.)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHachiko was a real Japanese dog from the breed Akita Inu, this breed has a peculiarity that isnu0026#39;t found in most breeds, they are extremely loyal to one person.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI have watched the brutal 1987 original and the lame 2009 American rip off, both show an Akita as the dog the story was based on, however this Chinese adaptation changes the meaning of Hachikou0026#39;s name, which was supposed to be u0026quot;luckyu0026quot;, to u0026quot;eight dotsu0026quot; – a mahjong reference . Also, another huge issue is how Hachiko, or rather Batong, isnu0026#39;t an Akita Inu, but rather a Chinese pastoral dog.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo this adaptation pushes away core elements that makes the story of Hachiko so important, even the American adaptation didnu0026#39;t do that, but the Chinese adaptation changed those to make it seem like it was something that happened in China.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSuch a shame they felt like they should change those elements of the story.”
