Published: 7/7/2025

Italian hero sniffer dog, Bruno, is tragically killed after consuming nail-filled sausages thrown into his kennel. Celebrated for finding missing people, Bruno's death sparks outrage and condemnation from Italy's prime minister and his trainer, Arcangelo Caressa. The killing, believed to be in retaliation for Bruno's role in dismantling dog fighting rings, prompts a joint investigation by Italy's police and prosecutors. Despite receiving threats, Caressa vows to seek justice for Bruno, calling the attack "vile" and fueled by revenge and greed.
