Bruno Retires
The famous Great Dane who cheers up hospital patients and helps children learn to read will wrap up his career later this month.
Bruno, the 175-pound Great Dane who has spent countless hours being read to by children in Malvern Library, will retire at the end of May. A certified therapy dog, he has already wrapped up some of his other volunteer work at local schools.
The nearly 10-year-old canine volunteer and his owner, Sam Schleiman, posted the news to Facebook Monday evening:
Dad and I have decided it's time for us to retire. We have made our last visits to Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital and to the four libraries and three schools that I have been visiting. The only place I still go is Malvern Library, and I will retire from there at the end of the month.I've reached the age to retire and I get tired easily and my legs bother me a bit, so its time.
