He’s not just mans best friend, he’s everyones best friend.
Bruno was a ‘special’ dog. He loved his freedom and the people of this small town who gave him love.
He has spent almost every day in the past 12 years walking for 4 miles into town, just to say ‘hi’ to the local people…
Bruno AKA The Wandering Dog started traveling into Longville, Minnesota from when he was very young. Rescued from the streets by Larry LaVelle after a passer-by mistook him for Larry’s dog 12 years ago, so he decided to keep him. Bruno wouldn’t be domesticated so easily though and loved going on journeys.
He had to get used to people calling him saying they’ve found his dog, only to tell them that he is (a wan.derer).
Bruno was different from most dogs, he was perfectly capable of making long journeys all on his own. His favorite spots are the ice-cream shop, city hall, library, and several grocery stores and office blocks where he would be met with meat scraps.
The people of the town loved him so much, that they named him the town’s dog and even designed a wooden statue of him!
Just shows how dogs treasure being shown love.
One couldn’t ask for a better friend.
What an awesome dog. Love that the community is also his family.
Bruno was one incredible dog and touched the lives of many. He will never be forgotten.
Bless him. Helen.
