Dogs can be picky eaters, and if given the choice between treats and people food or his regular kibble, Bruno may be more interested in the treats. It would be best to stop all treats and people food completely, and only offer his food for several days. A dog won't starve, and leaving the food down for him to check out will encourage him to eat that instead. If he still refuses to eat for several days even with only being offered his food, or shows any signs of illness, a checkup at the vet is always a good idea.
