A heroic sniffer dog named Bruno died after ingesting sausages filled with nails thrown into his kennel in Taranto, Italy. Bruno, a seven-year-old bloodhound praised for finding nine missing people, was honoured by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who condemned the act as "vile, cowardly, unacceptable."
