I am in shock didn’t see this coming..Bruno was a hero and died a hero..God bless you Bruno RIP :(

I’m thinking aloud here....A few years of youth, training, then six years with the police force, then two years retired makes him about ten to eleven years old, which would be about right for a large dogs lifespan, especially having had the trauma of his encounter with the live end of a gun.

R.I.P. Bruno. Ya done good.

There’s a slideshow of Bruno pictures available at the OC Register website:

I was maybe a half mile away when Bruno was shot. I’ve never heard so many sirens. If you want every cop within miles to be hell bent on getting you then shoot one of their dogs and you’ll get your wish.

Well, being shot does tend to have a negative impact on man or one's health, be it man or beast.

FWIW, Mhz has recently started running an Austrian 1990s cop show, Inspector Rex, featured a K-9 that lost its handler to a bullet. A detective saves the dog from being put down for depressive starvation.

Yes, it's subtitled.
