A loyal 12 year old German Shepherd named Tommy, attends mass every day at an Italian church, where his owner Maria Lochi’s funeral was held. Tommy was adopted by Maria as a stray, and would accompany her everyday to the Santa Maria Assunta church in the village of San Donaci, in Italy, and sit at her feet. Tommy is also known as Ciccio.
