There's a movie called Hachi staring Richard Gere about this dog. It's set in modern USA however and not Japan. It's probably the saddest movie I've ever seen.
If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend you do. Just get the kleenex ready beforehand. BTW it got a 8.1/10 on IMDB which is really high. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1028532/
