The woman is an academic at the Sapienza University in Rome, and she has achieved her legal victory with the help of lawyers from the League Against Vivisection (LAV).
This is the first such judgment in the Italian legal court system!
The judge appreciated the view of the woman that the University should grant her leave of absence for "serious personal family reasons".
A stunned Italian woman took two days of sick leave to care for Dog Kuciola, a twelve-year-old female English sitter, after the dog was surgically operated.
Her lawyers pointed to the provision of the Italian law, which states that one who leaves the animal "in great suffering" can be sentenced to two years in prison and fined in the amount of up to 10,000 euros!
LAV president Đanluka Feliseti said that this is a step towards respecting the fact that animals do not keep track of the financial benefits or their working abilities, but that they are also members of the family in the year.
