From Il Messaggero newspaper in Rome: When 12-year old German Shepherd Tommy’s owner died early this year, he followed the coffin from their village to the church.

A passing Good Samaritan picked up both dogs and took them to the shelter, which is now looking for homes for them.
Wouldn’t it be nice if our human friends were this loyal?
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
