Once upon a time there was a bloodhound called Bruno, who was a police dog.
Bruno lived in Italy, and during his long and distinguished sniffing-dog career, he became famous for rescuing nine people, turning into something of a national figure.
Last weekend, the beloved dog was killed after eating sausages laced with nails.
Bruno died from internal bleeding on Friday after sausages were thrown into his kennel in the southern Italian city of Tarananto, said his trainer.

Bruno’s death is causing outrage across Italy, and leading its trainer to threaten those responsible.
New York Post reported:
“Arcangelo Caressa found the heroic 7-year-old bloodhound named Bruno dead in a pool of blood on Friday, sharing the heartbreaking news on social media. Caressa, Bruno’s trainer, issued several messages on Facebook to those behind Bruno’s death.
‘I KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND YOU WILL PAY FOR IT’, the trainer promised in one post.”
“Caressa said he discovered Bruno dead in his kennel in southern Taranto after someone snuck in and fed him nail-studded sausages.
The gruesome discovery has sparked a nationwide manhunt for Bruno’s killers, and earned the attention of the nation’s Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni.”
