Bruno ended up at the SPCA shelter after another dog attacked him. The Pit Bull lost an ear yet remained sweet and loving. Bruno did something quite amazing when a shelter worker brought him a stuffed dog to keep him company. He gave his new plushy a makeover!

Levi saw Bruno’s post online and knew he had to meet him, especially when he saw the photo with his stuffed friend. Bruno tore the toy’s ear off to match him. The exact ear Bruno had lost! Levi says it’s because he didn’t want to be different on his own.

When Bruno was let out of his kennel to meet Levi, he came running over, toting his favorite plushy. The pup was so happy that his tail wagged like crazy. While his past had been traumatic, Bruno left that all behind him. As soon as Levi took Bruno home, the dog only took a few minutes to adjust. He couldn’t wait to start his new life.

Now Bruno spends his days livin’ it up with his dad. He especially loves to go to the dog park. People have judged him based on his breed, but Levi says that they quickly change their minds once they see his one ear missing. We are so happy Bruno found the perfect home. To meet Bruno and check out his adorable matching plushy, scroll down to the video below.
