We adopted Bruno in July 2017; he’s our first dog together as a couple, and has really taught us an awful lot about being dog owners (friends and family have assured us that having children is going to be easier than looking after Bruno at times!). One thing we weren’t expecting was the prejudice we have experienced from other people; people who tell us outright that he is a pittie, people who cross the street to avoid him, people who pull their dogs away when he tries to say hello. Whilst we have learnt we can’t change everyone’s opinions, we hope this photo shows what a sweet natured dog Bruno is, and hope that he can be an advocate for not only his breed, but for rescue dogs everywhere.
