He dies to save a dog (colour litho)

He dies to save a dog. The young waitress Dina Missaglia played on the square of the church of Bogliasco (Genoa) with her masters' bulldog. He was throwing rocks and the dog ran to pick them up. A fine stone on the staircase that descends to the beach; the bulldog jumped to catch it when a wave reached him dragging him into the water. The girl, regardless of the waves that broke against the rocks, descended in the hope of being able to save the dog. A violent wave hit it and throw it into the sea. When help arrived, it was too late. The young woman was dead. Illustration for Courier Sunday, 26 January 1958.
