These days we prepare to celebrate 150 years of unity 'of Italy and we must thank the many great men who died for their country, first of Giuseppe Garibaldi, and' he has inspired today's article! I present to you a dog, that not everyone knows about, but that it 'was really important for our third army during the war for Italian independence: Caffaro. This is the name of a beautiful Bulldog, serving in the body in its volunteers led by Giuseppe Garibaldi. Caffaro was Lieutenant Giulio Grossi of Venice. Giulio was so attached to his dog that he decided to take it with you during expeditions Garibaldi. Caffaro in 1866 took part in the famous battle of Ponte Caffaro, fought between the partisans and Austrians during the battle, the dog began to be rather violent fight between Giovanni Battista Cella, bersagliere voluntary, and Rudolf Ruzicka, captain of Austria: the fight was on the bridge, and the Austrian was going to win it, when suddenly Caffaro start 'to bite the legs of the opposing captain. Thanks to his intervention Ruzicka was taken prisoner, and Italian soldiers they captured another Austrian Lieutenant Suchonel. From that day the dog was called Caffaro as the bridge over which he had fought, he was always on the side of Big company, and his master, until they were not killed in a battle in Pieve di Ledro. Caffaro, remained two days at the grave of his master, crying very loud. There are two versions on the future of Caffaro said that in the first war ended Caffaro was given to the father of the soldier who died Grossi but 'a few months later, another Caffaro said that the dog died' on the grave of his master, and not He never wanted to leave. That 's a wonderful example of love and loyalty' to be able to give the dogs and I would say to all those who do evil and torture dogs, that if we are here today we must also thank Caffaro who fought for us!
