Goodbye to Billy, the dog who would see the master every day at the cemetery

Like Hachiko, the faithful dog to whom a statue was dedicated and who inspired the film with Richard Gere. dead Billy, the dog became a symbol in Vietri sul Mare, because every day he squatted near the grave of his master, the butcher Vincenzo Caputo.

Until a few days before his death, the dog had watched his master in the cemetery of the city. Faithful to death, he was loved by all and became the symbol of friendship between dogs and men. We will not see you again, but you have left us an indelible example of love told to the citizens of Vietri sul Mare. And to Billy, a plaque will be dedicated, which will be placed in the center of the city.

We will not see you roaming the country like a soul in pain – we read on Facebook – there are those who caressed you, who fed you when you went to his door, but you were looking for something else, your friend who he had grown up. You do not understand that it was under a cold marble plate, you put it every morning, you've been doing it for years, until you've uncooked it and found the empty tomb someday . And you went around Vietri and the surrounding area, went to look for it, thought you might see him again, to help him.
