to painful to watch

My husband and I wanted to watch it. However, I decided to check it over on Wikipedia.
By the time I finished reading my throat was in a knot and I was crying.
I think it must be a good movie...and my husband says its a true story, but I am to old to start a movie crying.
Here is what wiki said....abbreviated

Years earlier, a puppy is sent from Japan to the U.S, but escapes when his cage falls at an American train station. Professor Parker Wilson finds the dog...
The following morning, he takes him to work, where Ken, a Japanese professor, transliterates the symbol on the collar as 'Hachi'—Japanese for the number 8—signifying good fortune. Parker decides to call the dog Hachikō. Parker attempts to play fetch with Hachi, but Hachi refuses.
Parker continues to be mystified by Hachi's refusal to do dog-like activities like chase and fetch. One morning, Parker leaves for work and Hachi follows him to the train station; he refuses to leave until Parker walks him home. Later in the afternoon, Hachi walks to the station, to wait patiently for Parker to come home. Parker relents and walks Hachi to the station every morning. After Parker's train departs, Hachi walks home, returning in the afternoon to see his master's train arrive and go home together. They continue to do this every day.

One day Parker gets ready to leave and Hachi barks at him and refuses to join him. When Parker does leave, Hachi chases him while holding his ball. Parker is surprised but pleased that Hachi is finally willing to play fetch with him. Not wishing to be late, Parker catches his train despite Hachi's barking. Later that day Parker is teaching, still holding Hachi's ball, when he suddenly suffers a heart attack and dies.

At the train station, Hachi waits patiently as the train arrives, but there is no sign of Parker. He remains, lying in the snow, for several hours, until Parker's son-in-law Michael (Robbie Collier Sublett) comes to collect him. The next day, Hachi returns to the station and waits. As time passes,... Hachi is sent to live with Andy However, at the first opportunity, Hachi escapes and finds his way back to the station, where he sits at his usual spot. Andy arrives and takes him home, but after seeing how depressed the dog is she lets him out to return to the station.

Hachi waits for his owner every day, while sleeping in the rail yard at night. He is befriended by Carl, Jasjeet (a hot dog cart vendor who used to give Professor Wilson his coffee every morning) and other regulars around the station. Hachi's loyalty is profiled in the local newspaper, and after seeing the article Ken visits Hachi and offers money to Jasjeet to pay for any expenses for the dog, but Jasjeet declines it saying everyone in the station square will take care of Hachi. Cate comes back to visit Parker's grave on the tenth anniversary of his death where she meets Ken. Walking past the station, she is stunned to see Hachi maintaining his vigil. Overcome with grief, Cate sits and waits for the next train with him. At home, Cate tells the now ten-year-old Ronnie about Hachi. Hachi continues his daily walk to the same spot in front of the train station to his final day when he recollects his life with his master. He then imagines Parker coming out of the station and the two greeting each other. But it was Hachi dying and reuniting with his beloved master in heaven. Hachi is last seen lying on the snow, alone and still.
