Red is dead. He had been poisoned by unknown and cruel hands on the night of February 28, 2021 in the Sorso countryside. All of Sardinia (and beyond) had cheered for him, a splendid specimen of German shepherd , and his story had moved all the people of the web.

The vets did their utmost to save him and after a few days they succeeded. Red regained consciousness and started walking again. But it was no longer the same: the internal injuries caused by the poison were too serious.

Red however in these two years never gave up his favorite passion: playing with children. Who loved it. However, relapses were always lurking and yesterday, in one of these, Red didn't make it, after having fought for many months against the wickedness of the person who had reduced him to those conditions.

«Unfortunately I was aware of the risks that my beloved Red was running - explains his owner Gian Paolo Sanna , accountant from Sorso, 57 years old - The vets had warned me of the dangers he was running and so it was. But at least for two years Red was still with us. The children of the area and beyond have lost a sincere friend. Including my father, who is blind and who when he came home to visit me was lovingly cared for by Red, who never left him alone for a moment».
