09/22/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Bruno–what a face! If you’re reading this, you’ve already seen a photo of Bruno– his face is all-white save for his black nose and a few black spots on his chin that make him appear to be smiling all the time. A perfect smile to go along with his wagging tail and his sweet, calm personality. Bruno has the most adorable habit of locking eyes with someone on the street and sitting down, tail wagging, until they look back at him and come say hi. When I was walking him yesterday, he stopped a young man in his tracks. “He looks like he knows you,” I said. “I feel like I know him too!” replied the young man. Bruno has been looking everywhere for his new family, and I hope they come soon, because he is a real catch. In addition to being beautiful and charming everyone who crosses his path, Bruno appears to be housebroken, sits for treats and takes them very gently, and and loves to cuddle and give kisses. For being such a young dog, Bruno is very cool, calm, and collected. He’s just as happy playing and wagging his tail as he is to relax next to his person and take in the scenery. Come and see Bruno today– you won’t regret it!
