A man in the province of Sassari, Italy, died and was buried in a cemetery a few kilometers from his home.

Despite the great distance, the dog that had been with him for many years, walked every day to visit the man’s grave, as if the dog thought that the owner only slept in his grave. What is even more surprising is that his family never took the dog to the owner’s grave and it is unclear how he discovered the location of the grave.

Leonardo was the dog’s dad and he got sick in December and couldn’t beat his illness. He died on February 22. His family then held a funeral for him.

The day after the funeral, Leonardo’s daughter, Sara Sechi, took her son to visit her father’s grave, but was surprised to see his dog Fulmine there.

Surprisingly, Fulmine walked only about 2 miles to visit his master’s grave. It was as if he knew that his master, whom he hadn’t seen in weeks, was now sleeping here.

Sarah told The Dodo: “I didn’t expect to see it here. He also did not attend the funeral. I don’t know how he knows how to get here.”

In the following weeks, his neighbors saw Fulmine visit his master’s grave many times.

“It seems like Fulmine goes there every day,” Sarah said.

Sarah remembers that during the 7 years that her father and Fulmine spent together, they had a very good relationship and often hugged each other like best friends.

While Leonardo was hospitalized, his family helped take care of Fulmine and they saw how much Fulmine missed his teacher.

“Every time a car came up, I would run to the door to see if it was my dad,” Sarah said. “I think it was his love for my father that led him to the grave or my father led him there. This is one of those strange events that have no real explanation.”

At this time, even though the owner has died, Fulmine still couldn’t forget him and even visited the owner’s grave frequently. How he found his owner’s grave remains a mystery to this day.
