Fido was present when his monument was unveiled
Fido became known in Italy for continuing to wait at a bus stop after his owner died during the war. In 1957, the town commissioned a monument to his loyalty. Fido and his owner’s widow attended its inauguration while he was still alive.
The dog being honoured was there to meet his monument.
