The Greenville Humane Society is seeking a new home for Gus and Bruno, a bonded pair of three-year-old dogs.
The dogs' owner, Officer William Bove, a public servant who worked for both the NYPD and Greenville Police Department, recently died of cancer.
Gus and Bruno are grieving the loss of their owner and home, and the shelter insists they must be adopted together.
