    Farewell to Ruben, the mascot dog of the Milan firefighters who had entered everyone's hearts. He had arrived in the Provincial Barracks when he was still a puppy, he had not passed the selection to become a rescue dog, but had been adopted by the firefighters.



    “After 14 years of honorable service at the detachment in via Sardegna, our Rubén left us today. Faithful friend of all firefighters and the neighborhood. Hi CAGNONE ”, this is how the firefighters of the Provincial Command greet him, but Ruben was so loved that he even had a Facebook profile.

    And today the cream-colored Labrador receives the affection of many people who give him a last farewell on social networks. “I always saw you big dog, all your friends will miss you”, writes one user, “I saw him when I passed by, even very recently! He was really a nice big dog ”, writes another and again“ You were a bit our dog too. Many years of taking the long way to go to kindergarten With my girls to say goodbye to Ruben. A few days ago, once again passing by, you snatched one last smile from us… .we will miss you ”.

    A roundup of affectionate messages below some of his photos.

    “I was an exuberant puppy and a little head, which is why I probably didn't become a rescue dog; evidently my place in case of calamity was not in the front line but in the barracks, where I was a particular firefighter: I was considered the mascot of the company, the good luck charm of the team, the friend who every time welcomed the firefighters returning from a mission.

    And yet:

    I had learned to recognize the sound of the siren and sprinted like a rocket as soon as I heard it, running my friends to the trucks that were leaving the barracks snorting ready to reach anyone in danger; I stopped on the sidewalk and watched them as they walked away through the streets of Milan and disappeared from my sight. I stayed there until I recognized the red truck that was returning and I was happy because the firefighters, although tired and scarred by the fire, would greet me as soon as I got out of the vehicle and then calmly tell me what had happened and what they had done ", the story of Ruben is told by the fireman Emanuele Grandi on the page, with a post in which Ruben is given a voice.



    A big dog loved by the whole neighborhood and loved by his 48 fathers and the many children of the school near the barracks. Goodbye Ruben, good rainbow bridge.
