Every Day, Little Dog Walks Miles Alone To Visit His Best Friend’s Grave

This small puppy named Fulmine lived with Sara Sechi’s father, Leonardo, for seven long and joyful years. The two closest friends lived in the Italian countryside, enjoying simple pleasure in each other’s company.

Sechi told The Dodo, “They were really loving.” “They were usually snuggling,” says the narrator.

Fulmine and Leonardo’s time together unfortunately came to an end recently. Their love, though, endures.

Leonardo died away last month following a lengthy fight with sickness. Leonardo’s family looked after Fulmine while he was in the hospital, and they witnessed how much the small dog missed him.

“Whenever a car came close, Fulmine would dash to the gate, thinking it was my father,” Sechi explained.

The dog continued to search for Leonardo even after he was laid to rest.

Then he eventually tracked him down.

Sechi and her son went to the cemetery the day after Leonardo’s burial to leave additional flowers on his grave. When they arrived, they were shocked to see that someone else had also come to pay them a visit.

Fulmine was the culprit.

Fulmine had somehow travelled nearly two kilometers from the countryside on his own to the location where Leonardo had been put to rest.

He appeared to realize that Leonardo, whom he hadn’t seen in weeks, had arrived.

“I was surprised to see him there,” Sechi stated. “He didn’t show up for the funeral.” I’m not sure how he knew where he needed to go.”

Fulmine, on the other hand, was finally reunited with Leonardo, if only in spirit.

Fulmine’s visit would not be the last. Neighbors reported seeing the tiny dog going to and from the graveyard to see the companion he’d lost in the weeks that followed.

Sechi remarked, “We assume he goes there every day.”

But it’s still a mystery how Fulmine knew where to look for Leonardo.

“I’d like to believe he’s motivated by his affection for my father.” Or perhaps he was taken there by my father “Sechi said. “It’s one of those weird occurrences that defies explanation.”

Fulmine’s heart still hurts, but it’s a sensation he’ll never have to deal with on his own.
