Lampo Dog

This article tells the story of Lampo, a stray dog who was adopted by stationmaster Elvio Barlettani in 1953 at the Campiglia Marittima railway station in Italy. Lampo quickly learned the train schedules and traveled independently on the trains, often accompanying the stationmaster’s daughter to school. He became a regular traveler across Italy's rail network, always returning home by sunset.
