FORSYTH COUNTY, N.C. — It was a sad day for deputies in Forsyth County as they're mourning the sudden loss of K-9 Deputy Bruno.
Deputies said he was a 10-year-old German Shepherd with the sheriff's office for seven years.
The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office posted the following message on their Facebook page:
It is with heavy hearts that we share that K9 Bruno crossed the Rainbow Bridge this evening. K9 Bruno was a 10-year-old German Shepherd / Malinois mix who joined the FCSO Family in 2017. He was certified in narcotics detection, apprehension, and tracking & trailing. K9 Bruno and his best friend, Corporal Mitchell were most recently assigned to the Patrol Division. They say that all dogs go to Heaven and we know Bruno will make lots of new friends. Rest easy, good boy!
Please keep the sheriff's office in your thoughts during this difficult time.
