Bruno

On Wednesday 4 December 2024, we suddenly lost Bruno. He was around 15 years old and had a bad heart when we rescued him five years ago. He was one of the very first residents of the Sanctuary. He was the victim of a hit and run and had fallen into a sewer. Rina had to crawl inside to pull him out.

He never mixed with other dogs, preferring to keep himself to himself, until he met Wena.

For five years, they walked 1together, slept together, and stayed by each other's side.

On Wednesday, we noticed that Bruno was having trouble breathing, and as our vets were off, we rushed him to Doc Gama at Animal Wellness. But tragically, he had a cardiac arrest just after we got there.

Wena was lost, wondering where he had gone. We decided to take her to the clinic to see Bruno so that she could ride back in the van with his body and at least perhaps understand that he had died and not abandoned her.
