Photographed outside the Goodspeed Opera House, Bill Berloni of Haddam is currently working with two rescued Havanese mixes, Dulce (left) and Charlie (right), for the play "Left On Tenth" opening on Broadway in September. The world-renowned humane trainer works with dogs, cats, farm animals, birds, reptiles and insects. He just finished working with a Great Dane who will co-star with Naomi Watts and Bill Murray in the film The Friend to be released this fall. His career began nearly 50 ago, as an apprentice at the Goodspeed Opera House when he was put in charge of finding and training a dog named Sandy for the original production of ‘Annie.’ A large majority of the animals Berloni works with are rescues.

The mosquito-borne virus claimed the life of a Fairhaven woman and infected eight other people, including a 5-year-old Sudbury girl.
