Bruno's stool may just be very dark in color not black. He needs to see a veterinarian no regardless due to his age and making sure that he is a healthy puppy. I would recommend taking a stool sample with you to have them evaluate it. They will be able to check for parasites and let you know if the stool sample is truly black or just very dark that it appears black in color.
