In the small town of San Donaci near Brindisi, Italy, there's a 12 year-old German Shepherd named Tommy which goes to Mass nearly every day and sits patiently by the altar.
He goes there out of love, he is just waiting for his master.
 The reason Tommy attends Mass at this church is because it’s where he last saw his owner.
Her funeral was held here.
Now, he diligently waits for his master to come back.
 He curls up by the altar to wait for Maria.

Tommy is there every day and waits patiently through all of the church services, keeping a silent watch and waiting for her.
The loyalty and love dogs possess is unlike anything else in the universe. Nothing breaks my heart more than to see a dog like this in mourning.
