Long Haul Big Hearts

A Canadian man and his blind dog set out in his 18-wheeler on a relief mission to the Katrina-ravaged Mississippi Gulf Coast - to do what the government says “can’t be done.” To everyone’s surprise, Peter Bruno was the first long-haul trucker to arrive at the relief center Camp Coast Care in Long Beach, Mississippi, just seven days after Hurricane Katrina.

In addition to getting one determined truck driver’s views on life, long Haul Big Hearts is a story about everyday people trying to make a difference in the aftermath of the humbling force of Katrina, one of the worst natural disasters in American history.
