A volunteer writes: Bruno is a one-of-a-kind dog! I can imagine being upstate on vacation and having him by my side. He would be the perfect companion for those long morning walks. Bruno would fit so well in any landscape with his beautiful golden coat, and soft brown eyes. He is a dream to be with, and behaves so well whenever we are together. Bruno is middle aged now, so he is very easy going on the walk and is never high energy with me. Charming, handsome, and fun, Bruno would be a joy in almost any home. Come take a look at this golden hunk at our care center today.
