Il termine ha il significato di fedele.
Non so se si tratti di una persona o di un cane

Se, all'interno del contesto ci fosse un rif. a Leo come ad un amico fedele potresti anche tradurre con:

Explanation:
Hi Italian,
The italian version is referring to a dog, but I think there is a typo it should be "dal suo fido Leo".
Anyway in italian "fido" in considered also a synonym for "cane".
(eg. VIAGGIARE CON FIDO In auto, in treno, in aereo, in nave ...
http://www.tuttocani.it/viaggiare.htm).
I think you could take trustworthy out, unless you want to stress what "fido" entails, which is the loyalty of the dog.

Have a great day.
Milena

Hi italian. I just found the list of synonymes for "cane", here it is:
Sinonimi: belva, incompetente, scalzacane, scarpa, schiappa, zero, delinquente, canaglia, farabutto, mascalzone, carogna, fido, cagnolino, cagnone, molosso,

Again, have a nice one.
