美國明尼蘇達州一隻叫「布魯諾」（Bruno）的狗狗過去12年來，每天破曉後總會沿著一條高速公路，徒步6.5公里，去到卡斯縣人口不足200人的朗維爾小鎮，接受當地居民餵食物，停留一段時間後，便會原路返回主人家中。
由於布魯諾每天都會長征，朗維爾鎮的居民無人不認識它，把它當成他們的一分子，甚至視為吉祥物。
它亦每天都會前來探訪居民，先是經過一間食店門口，獲職員贈送一塊肉，之後會行經市會堂、雪糕店及油站，日日如是。
其實它的家並非在朗維爾鎮，而是在6.5公里外。它是自來狗，當仍是小狗時，偶然走到主人的家門外，主人於是收養它，但它愛到處逛，經常不在家，主人也見怪不怪。

'Everyone knows Bruno!': Meet the dog who has been making a four-mile commute to town every day for 12 YEARS 'because he likes visiting the people'
Around sunrise each morning, a determined dog can be seen walking down a Minnesota highway, on his way to town.
The dog's name is Bruno, and he makes the four-mile journey from his home to the town of Longville in Cass County, which has a population of less than 200.
Bruno is as much a local as anyone else in Longville, even though he doesn't live there. That's because he has been making that same journey, every day, for the last 12 years.

'Everybody knows Bruno,' said local Sharon Rouse, who works at a realty office
And almost everyday, he does pretty much the same thing, starting with first stopping off at the deli for a snack of meat, which is happily provided out the back door by staff.
From there he goes to City Hall, the ice cream shop and the gas station.
'It's just been his routine as far back as I know,' Sharon Rouse, who watches Bruno arrive in town each day from her desk at Hansen Realty office, told KARE.
'Everybody knows Bruno. You may not know the people, but you'll know Bruno.
'He's a big deal here.'

'He says, ''I found your dog at the end of your driveway'',' Larry told KARE.
'I says, ''Well he ain't my dog''.'

Bruno is so well-received that someone in town also created a Facebook page for the dog
Over the years they have become accustomed to people calling them from town, saying they have found Bruno.
The LaVellees then give the same reply each time - that Bruno always finds his way home.
'He's our buddy, we kind of watch out for him the best way we can,' Patrick Moran, who owns a real estate office on Bruno's route, told KARE.
'Last week he came in stayed about an hour and a half or two hours.'
'He's not just a dog. He's a spirit.'
