About Bruno

Bruno is a big goof. He currently lives & plays with 2 - 45lb female rottie mixes & a 100lb male malamute mix who's a diva. Bruno knows basic commands. One command used a lot is 4 on the floor which means sit. Commands Bruno has been taught are a combination of voice & hand gestures. He responds to both. He loves to be with his people. He can also entertain himself with a toy. He makes his foster family laugh. Bruno's favorite toys are his Pineapple Kong-like toy & a sock with knots tied into it. He'll drop it on the couch or chair and steps back, waiting for someone to throw it. It's something he taught himself! He'll toss the toys in the air & try to catch them. Sometimes he will 'talk' at you because he's dropped it on the ground & expects you to pick it up. Nope, he's to puts it in your hand (sometimes you have to put your 2 hands together) or couch. He also 'complains' if you don't feed him his breakfast as fast as he'd like at times. He's an alarm clock - 6 am - morning potty, 7am - time for breakfast, 5pm - feed me! You're starving me (even though he's had treats during the day) Bruno wants to climb into your lap. He is working on the command HUG - where he has to sit & wait for permission first. He's startled by noises he doesn't know and his response is to bark. Once he knows what the sound is, he's OK. He definitely does not like construction noises, they scare him. Bruno needs slow introductions, as he is scared of new stuff he doesn't know. I don't know what he'll do with a cat. I believe he'll be very interested because he can be nosy but not hurtful. When the 45 pound dog her lives with smacks at him with her paw, he runs for the hills but comes back for more Bruno was found on the streets, hunched up & walking on the backs of his paws, because he had been kept in a crate too small for him. His first foster family was great & did water therapy & exercises to get him walking normal. He is not afraid of his crate - he's in it when we are gone from the house & sleeps on the couch or the bench at the end of our bed at night.
