Loyal dog has spent two months at front gate waiting for sick owner to come home

A loyal dog has been waiting at the front gate of its house for two months hoping for its coronavirus-stricken owner to return home.

Marco Maiolani, 55, has been in hospital with the deadly disease since November. But his dog Billy still goes to the front of the house every morning to wait for him - dragging his blanket and pillow with him.

Marco's grandchildren said that half-breed Billy refuses to move from the spot in Lombardy, Italy and cries and howls for his owner.

And they added the dog sometimes refuses to go back inside for the night, where it always used to sleep curled in its owner's shirt.
