They didn’t know the puppy but couldn’t resist the stray dog, so they decided to take the poor fella in. They called the bundle of fur Bruno.

That was over 12 years ago and almost every day for those 12 years Bruno would complete a four mile commute to wonder into the lives of the people of Longville. He starts at the back door of the grocery store where his friend at the deli leaves a little meaty treat.

Now that ol’ Bruno is 12, its more difficult for him to make the trip. But he's made such a positive impact on the town they've already made beautiful carving of the curious canine, and he’s now honored forever.

Bo's Mum Leah she was moved to tears after someone snapped a photo of FSU’s Travis Rudolph eating with Bo and sent it to her. The photo’s caption read:
