DNSO s New Deputy K9 Named For Local Hero
Capt. de Solenni/DNSO
Del Norte County’s newest four-legged deputy’s new name honors the legacy of a local hero who was killed in the line of duty while serving in Afghanistan.
Capt. Bruno was Panzer when he arrived at the Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office about two weeks ago. Less than thrilled with the captain’s original moniker, the DNSO took to Facebook to find a new name. It was Del Norte County resident Rich Bruno who naming the deputy K9 after Oregon Army National Guard Capt. Bruno G. de Solenni, a 1994 graduate of Del Norte High School, Sheriff Erik Apperson told the Wild Rivers Outpost on Monday.
