Hi there. It's hard to say why Brunoo might be limping without being able to examine his leg and take some x-rays. If he's been limping for a year, this indicates that something serious may be wrong. He may have a torn ligament in his knee, a fracture somewhere that has not healed, or a joint problem such as hip dysplasia. I would recommend taking him to the vet for an exam when you are able to. He/she can do a complete orthopedic exam under sedation if needed to evaluate the laxity of his joints, range of motion, etc. and check for any evidence of swelling or other issues. It's likely that he will also need x-rays as part of this visit to help determine the problem.
