The idea of the "Premio Fedeltà del Cane" -
Dog Loyalty Award - was born in 1962.
A small dog, Pucci, abandoned by the owners, arrived in San Rocco
and immediately became fond of elementary school children.
He was waiting for them in the morning on the church square, there
accompanied to school where he waited for the hour
recreation and welcomed joyfully
the snack that the children offered him; then
went to hide a part that would be served for
the evening meal. So every day,
for over ten years.
In memory of the little dog Mr.
Giacinto Crescini had the idea of
establish the prize, and talking
about it with the pastor of that time,
don Carlo Jacob, he managed to
make it happen concretely,
connecting the award at the
patronal feast of S. Rocco.
This has a particular
meaning because S. Rocco is the
protector of dogs . So it was born
