Pitbull gets on train alone, takes trip to Venice

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 22 - An eight-month-old pitbull called Roky got on a train on his own at the weekend and took a trip to Venice, local newspapers reported on Monday.
    The dog boarded the train at Portogruaro, in eastern Veneto, took a seat and enjoyed the ride looking out of the window to the surprise of passengers, some of whom took photos and posted them on social media.
    According to the reports, the dog's owner had trained Roky to get on public transport alone as a way to impress women.
    Railway police were waiting for the Roky when he arrived at Venice's Santa Lucia station and they took him to a dog pound in the Mestre district, from where his owner came to pick him up.
