<P> Fido probably began life sometime in the autumn of 1941 as an independent street dog in Luco di Mugello , a small town in the municipality of Borgo San Lorenzo , in the Tuscan Province of Florence , Italy . One night in November 1941 , a brick kiln worker in Borgo San Lorenzo named Carlo Soriani , on his way home from the bus stop , found the dog lying injured in a roadside ditch . Not knowing who the dog belonged to , Soriani took him home and nursed him back to health . Soriani and his wife decided to adopt the dog , naming him Fido ( `` faithful '' , from Latin fidus ) . </P>
