Tommy kept attending church after his human stopped coming. πŸ•

Tommy kept attending church after his human stopped coming. πŸ• . . . Before Maria Margherita Lochi died in November 2012, her 12-year-old German shepherd followed her to Santa Maria Assunta Church in San Donaci, Italy. After her funeral, Tommy continued arriving whenever the bells announced a service. Nobody had trained himβ€”the sound simply led him back to where she used to be.
