There's a film adaptation of this (true) story, called Hachi[1]. Worth a watch if you like dogs. I think they actually used a Shiba for most of the puppy scenes, and the adult dog was an Akita.
I've got a 2 y/o Shiba Inu, and she's pretty amazing. I've had several dogs in the past, but a Shiba is nothing like other breeds. She's incredibly smart and has more personality than I've ever known a dog to have.

- freeflight 7y agoOne of the few movies that actually made me cry.
- finchisko 7y agoI had two Akita Inu, mum and son. I loved them very much, but this dogs are very difficult to train because of their stubborn personality. But very loyal on other side.
- kabacha 7y agoMy parents got an Akita after watching this movie - such a wonderful dog. Unfortunately like many purebreed dogs it sufered from genetic issues. Akitas tend to develop kidney problems and die young :( This is why you should avoid purebreeds unless you can afford unregulated vet bills and a heartbreak.
