Bruno was responsible for finding illegal narcotics, which led to the arrest of several offenders.
“He leaves behind a legacy of courage, dedication, and faithful service that will not be forgotten. Thank you, Bruno, for every track, every search, every long shift, every bark, and every life you helped protect,” Union City Police said.
