Here are our ''animal lovers'' children Chiara and Bianca posing with ''Hero, la lumiere'', a friend's (service) dog.

Hero is a stunning and beautiful St Bernard , and the BIGGEST dog (and the sweetest!) you would ever come close to (beside a Great Dan perhaps). So big that, once entering our house and exploring around some of the rooms, he would have to walk back in reverse mode in order to turn around!

Offering him a drink of water, also meant lining the entire floor area with towels to protect all around from the powerful splashes! Just amazing. We love you forever Hero!
