Sorry to hear about Bruno. At only a year and 8 months old, his barking may changed slightly due to the large amount of barking he does when you are not around. Animals can loose their normal bark due to excessive barking. I have seen this frequently in boarding facilities. I would recommend reducing the amount a barking as much as possible and see if it changes back to normal over time. To be safe, always worth a trip to your veterinarian for a compete exam but for the most part not life threatening. Please set up a consult if you have further questions. Thank you and hang in there.
