Bruno immigrated to Canada after being rescued in Mexico from deplorable conditions. He and his siblings were thrown over a 6 foot fence and landed on concrete as the shelter was closed and the owners couldn’t wait to be rid of them.
Once in Canada, Bruno was fostered by Alyssa and Nick. They decided they wanted to give back and thought that fostering rescue animals was the perfect fit. Since they did not necessarily want a permanent dog they partnered up with Coveted Canines and joined the foster team.
Bruno was very skittish and easily scared since he only understood Spanish but being the smart dog he is, Bruno quickly became bilingual and learned to understand life in Canada.
Within a week, Alyssa and Nick were smitten. They fell in love (hard) and decided that Bruno was their forever dog.
Even though Bruno had suffered so deeply, had travelled so far and had so much to learn about such as: learning a new language, familiarizing to a new country, adapting to colder temperatures and living downtown in a busy city Bruno assimilated quickly.
Alyssa said “I quickly recognized that, like introverted people, Bruno liked his personal space. He did not appreciate when people got too close to his face. Due to Bruno’s independence as well, he fit perfectly into our lifestyle since we are not always home”.
Now when Bruno goes for walks with his humans, he struts with his chest puffed out. He has become a very proud, confident and accomplished dog as he knows not too many dogs comprehend 2 languages like him. Bruno even has his own social media account with many fans that send him gifts because he is such a good boy.
Bruno is now 6 years old and he is thriving under the love of Alyssa and Nick. They are thankful that Bruno came into their lives as he, along with his new human sibling, make their family complete.
Bruno’s story is a reminder that family isn’t always blood. It’s the people (or animals) in your life who want you in theirs. The ones that accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile, and who love you no matter what. Follow his adventures in his furever home at @goodboybruno1 on Instagram.
