SIMSBURY Their devotion is unconditional and their contribution invaluable.

Thats why Simsbury Animal Control Officer Mark Rudewicz is collecting items to send military bomb dogs, who search out improvised explosive devices in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I am always moved when I think, these dogs have probably saved countless American lives, Rudewicz said.

This is the second year Rudewicz has held the collection drive and decided to open it up to public participation after receiving such an overwhelmingly positive response from his colleagues at the Simsbury Police Department and other town employees last year. Rudewicz said he appreciates his superiors at the simsbury Police Department for approving the effort.

A lot of us in law enforcement are former military, he said.

Rudewicz has spent most of his life in uniform, and much of that time working with animals. After serving in the US Marine Corps, he worked 22 years for the Hartford Police Department, where he headed up the canine unit and was involved with the mounted patrol. After retiring from Hartford, he came to Simsbury, where he has worked with the police for six years and is active with public outreach. During the recent storm he operated an animal shelter in the basement of Simsbury High School, where about 70 pets stayed, from dogs and cats to ferrets, guinea pigs and iguanas.

Rudewicz explained on missions, bomb dogs go in ahead of other soldiers, for example, leading Humvees and conducting sweeps. Bomb dogs are so respected that they are given one rank higher than their handler. Not long ago, Rudewicz was visited at the station by Fox, a retired US Army bomb dog who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan and has been adopted by a Simsbury family.

He is a pure German Shepard, six years old and retired at the rank of sergeant major, said Rudewicz, Continued…
