I guess I'm not a woman of my word

I had said it again and again, to my sister, to my fiance, to my friends, to anyone who would care to listen...
 
I had declared I wouldn't watch the movie Hachiko, a dog's story. I just ate my words yet again.

Indeed never say never, but it's not as if I had planned it. I had simply come to drop by my friend's apartment for a little tête-à-tête but lo and behold, the movie was on and just about starting. Scurrying away immediately had crossed my mind, fleeting it may be, but Hachi's cute puffy dog face nailed me to to my seat.

Well, lots of heart-warming Richard Gere acting and balls of fur later, I was sobbing non-stop—tried as I might not to.

Trivia: Hachiko is an Akita, a breed that has originated in Japan and is one of the most ancient dog breeds. It is said to be the accepted escorts of royalty and considered the first companions of men.
