A molecular dog died yesterday late in the evening after touching an electrical well of a public lighting pole in San Benedetto del Tronto (Ascoli Piceno), remaining electrocuted.
Instead, its owner and conductor Massimiliano Galletti survived.
Investigations are underway by the carabinieri, firefighters and veterinary service personnel.
Byron, this is the dog's name, has participated in the last ten years in the activities of the Alpine Rescue and the National Carabinieri Association.
These include the searches for people under the rubble of the 2016 Central Italy earthquake, in the Sarchiè murder, in the searches for the pilots immediately after the crash of the two tornadoes in the sky over Ascoli Piceno in 2014. Immediately after the incident, several electric wells in the area and checks are still underway to verify the level of safety.
Accurate checks were also requested by the mayor of San Benedetto Antonio Spazzafumo.
