He watched over his master for hours. He remained on the banks of the pond staring at the water. There where its 70-year-old owner died swallowed while he was engaged in a hunting trip in Maremma. His body was recovered by fire brigade divers who arrived from Florence in the Scopaioli lake, in the province of Grosseto.
It was a group of hunters who noticed the dog, a Drahthaar, standing on the shore, looking towards the still and stagnant water of the artificial lake located near the pensioner’s property. The hunters also found the cartridge belt and shotgun leaning against a tree. It was the dog’s attitude that put the rescuers on the right track.
It is likely that the man shot a pheasant which then ended up in the water and to retrieve it entered the lake and was trapped in the muddy water and took it to the bottom and drowning it. It was the divers, who arrived from Florence with special equipment to probe the muddy waters, who found the body two and a half meters deep and about twenty from the shore.
