Heroic Sniffer Dog Bruno Dies After Tragically Eating Poisoned Sausages

The beloved Italian sniffer dog, Bruno, met a tragic end after consuming sausages laced with nails, with speculations of revenge motives linked to his dog-fighting investigations.


Bruno, a celebrated bloodhound known for rescuing nine missing individuals, was killed by maliciously baited sausages. His trainer, Arcangelo Caressa, vowed justice amid a growing outcry from politicians and animal rights activists.



An Italian sniffer dog, Bruno, was killed after consuming sausages filled with nails that were deliberately thrown into his kennel, according to his trainer. The seven-year-old bloodhound had garnered praise for his heroic work, having successfully located nine missing people throughout his service and even received recognition from Italy's Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni.

Meloni described the incident as "vile, cowardly, unacceptable," expressing her gratitude for Bruno's brave efforts. His trainer, Arcangelo Caressa, firmly believed he knew who was behind this heinous act and pledged to hold them accountable. It has been suggested that Bruno may have been targeted in retaliation for his contributions to dismantling illicit dog-fighting operations.

In an emotional Facebook post, Caressa announced Bruno's death, stating, "Today I died with you," and shared his heartbreak over the loss of his four-legged friend, whom he considered a brother. He discovered Bruno lifeless in his kennel at the Endas search and rescue training center in Taranto, Puglia. "You fought your whole life to save humans, and now it was a human who did this to you," he lamented. The police and prosecutor's office have initiated a joint investigation into the circumstances surrounding Bruno's death.

Caressa also disclosed that he had received death threats in the weeks leading up to this tragic incident, emphasizing that this was not a random act of violence. "This is a vile attack, done for money and revenge," he told the Corriere della Sera. Italian MP and animal rights advocate Michela Vittoria Brambilla has called on authorities to ensure justice is served. She suspects Bruno was killed due to his role in the seizure of dogs used in fighting and has urged for the enforcement of a new law, which imposes severe penalties on those guilty of animal cruelty.

Brambilla highlighted the need for justice for Bruno, stating that his agonizing death from internal bleeding caused by the nails required accountability. "We owe it to this noble animal," she affirmed in her statement.
