approach. Therefore, this research is aimed at analyzing the structure elements of
Hachiko Dog’s Story movie 2009 and describing the struggle of Parker Wilson in
training Hachi to be faithful based on individual psychological approach.
This research is qualitative research. The object of the study is Hachiko
Dog’s Story movie directed by Lasse Hallstrom and publishing by Sony Pictures
Entertainment in 2009. The primary data source is Hachiko Dog’s Story movie
itself and the secondary data sources are the other sources related to the movie.
The technique used in collecting data is the library research. The technique of data

Based on analysis, there are two conclusions. First based on structural
analysis, Lasse Hallstrom wants to deliver a moral message of loving someone
forever. Secondly, based on the individual psychological analysis, it shows that in
the individual psychological study, integrity makes Parker to get anything. His
inferior felling makes his feeling weak but he can get his spirit again and he
always tries to be the best in his life. Love and patience are the key to get
happiness.
