Animal

The Resume

    (1941-June 9, 1958)
    Born in Borgo San Lorenzo, Tuscany, Italy
    Discovered injured in a ditch as a puppy by brick layer Carlo Soriani
    Nursed back to health by Carlo and his wife
    Famed for waiting for Carlo at bus stop for 14 years after Carlo's death in a World War II air raid

Why he might be annoying:

    He was a mutt.
    He waited 14 years in vain.
    His loyalty made the writer of this profile cry.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His name means 'faithful.'
    Each day he'd escort Carlo to work at a bus stop to a brick factory, then wait in the town square.
    When Carlo's shift was over, the pooch would accompany his owner back home.
    After Carlo died, he repeated this ritual over 5000 times.
    For his unfailing devotion, the town's mayor awarded him a gold medal and presented him with a statue.
