Arcangelo Caressa/FacebookHis trainer said that an Italian snower dog was killed after eating sausages filled with nails, thrown into his kennel.
Seven -year -old bloodhound, Bruno was honored as a hero for finding nine missing people during his career, and was once honored by the Prime Minister of Italy.
Giorgia Meloni condemned the “Vile, Coward, Unacceptable” murder in a post on X. “Thanks to all of you, Bruno,” he said.
The dog trainer, Archengelo Kareesa, said she knew who was responsible and vowed to pay them for their tasks.
It has been suggested that the murder was done as the dog fighting rings to avenge Bruno’s role.
“Today I died with you,” Mr. Carea said in a Facebook post, announcing Bruno’s death.
He said that he found a dog – what he says, he saw as a “brother” – on Friday morning at Tarranto, Puglia at Andas Search and Rescue Training Center in his kennel.
He said, “You fought your whole life to save humans and now it was a person who did this to you.” “You were, you are and you will remain my hero.”
The trainer said that the office of Italy’s police and prosecutor had launched a joint investigation in the murder.
Addressing the criminals, Mr. Kareesa said: “I know who you are, and you will pay for it.”
He said the local media had received death threats in the weeks due to Bruno’s death.
He said, “This was not a random gesture. They want me to step aside. But I will never give.
Italian MP and Animal Rights activist Mishle Vitoria Brambila has urged the police to bring people responsible for justice.
He suggested that Bruno was targeted by criminals as he had a role in seizing dogs used in fighting.
A new strong law, which was attached by Brambila, can punish anyone who uses torture using an animal to a four -year jail and a fine of € 60,000 (£ 51,000).
Bambila has called for the law to implement the law due to Brono’s “long and painful death” from internal bleeding, brought by a nail -filled sausage.
“We give it to this great animal,” he said in a statement.
