Bruno, the Dog of the Day
Name: Bruno
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male Breed: Great Dane, Black lab mix
Home: USA
 
   Bruno adopted us about two years ago. He was abandoned by college students who thought it would be great fun to get a puppy. They went home for the summer and left him in the back yard. Bruno found his way to the Mid-Atlantic Great Dane Rescue league and that is how we eventually met. He is the biggest baby and the absolute love of our life! We still can't believe he was abandoned. This holiday picture was taken after doggie day care... I couldn't believe he wore the hat long enough to shoot this!

    Bruno is affectionate, loving, and would argue if you suggested he was not human. He is also easily scared. I actually watched him bark at my purse because I put it in a different spot one day. He loves to move you aside when brushing your teeth so that he can have a drink of water. He thinks the faucets automatically turn on when he approaches the bathroom sink. He loves roman tomatoes and will swipe them whenever he gets a chance whether from the kitchen table or from the garden. If you try to catch him he will look at you innocently, mouth shut, and deny any wrongdoing. It is only when you lift up his lip and actually witness the roma tomato in his mouth does he admit guilt.

    I never get tired of talking (bragging) about him.
