Poisoned Hero Dog: Italy Mourns Bruno | JQJO

Italian police bloodhound Bruno, known for his heroic rescues, was found dead after being poisoned. His trainer, Arcangelo Caressa, suspects he was targeted due to his anti-dogfighting work and has received death threats. The incident sparked outrage and a criminal investigation under Italy's new animal protection law, which carries stiff penalties. Premier Giorgia Meloni condemned the act as "vile and cowardly." Caressa believes the killers aimed to silence him, not just kill his dog. Bruno's contributions to locating missing persons, both alive and deceased, were widely acknowledged.
