Fortunately, Sidewalk Specials rescued and took in Bruno. They kept him hidden in a stable while they were searching for a foster or a forever home for him. Bruno was very nervous while waiting.

He wasn’t in the best of shape. It was obvious that he had been poorly treated and wasn’t fed enough. He was so thin, you could see every rib on his body.

Although he had lived a tough life, Bruno is a friendly dog. Although many dogs who have been abused are afraid of humans, Bruno was desperate for attention and love.
