Commuting by train, music professor Parker Wilson finds an Akita puppy and he kindly takes it home. His bossy, jealous wife Cate initially makes Parker swear it won't stay, but by the time it's clear nobody will claim him and no adoption candidate is found, she agrees to keep the dog. Hachi makes a habit of waiting for his equally doting master at the station every evening, but after a tragedy, is collectively adopted by sympathizing town-folk. The story is told in flashbacks as class assignment "my hero" by Parker's grandson Robbie, who also gets an Akita puppy.
