Dear Gene,
Hi! My name is Mike Gilmore and I'm with the
Escambia County Florida Sheriffs Office. I've met you twice on trips I
have made to your home along with my Sgt., Susie Rogers-Scott. In November
of 2000 I was selected to be a K9 handler with our agency. In two weeks
after being selected we made trips to pick up dogs from you. The first
trip I walked through the kennel and my first attention went to a sable
dog who was going absolutely crazy. This dog was mostly black but he really
caught my eye. Well we didn't buy that dog that trip but I couldnt get
my mind off of him. Our second trip up I got to see him again. He acted
rather psycho but you assured us when you opened the gate that he would
change his attitude. Well you were right...he did. Susie ended up buying
him as well as another dog you had. I had my heart set on him but I was
told that another handler, Officer Mike Mayne who had lost his dog to a
shooting would get first pick. Mike picked Don, the other dog, and I got
the one I wanted from the start! This black dog was Bruno z Ev-Pa.
Bruno &
I hit the streets in 2001 after a 400 hour class with Sgt Susie.
Our first night we tracked over three blocks to locate two Home Invasion
suspects who had beaten a man who was confined to a wheelchair. Man, Bruno
made me proud right out of the gate! As the year went on we located several
suspects and took 2nd place overall on the local narcotics certification.
For the year 2001, we took top narcotics dog for our agency with 55 finds
in only 10 months. Bruno became the dog that dope dealers hated to see
pull up on the scene as they knew he would find it if it was hidden anywhere
nearby. Bruno also took 2nd place at two different local PD1 trials held
by Susie, and did very well at the regionals in Daytona. No matter how
bad I looked, Bruno always made me look like a pro.He became the partner
I never knew I was missing.
On August 9th of this year, Bruno
died of natural causes. My best friend was gone physically but never from
my heart and he will be missed greatly.
I believe my department has approved
the money for me to purchase a new dog, and I'm looking forward to coming
up again to get a new partner. Gene, I want to say "THANKS" for bringing
Bruno into my life. He was a true trooper, who was loyal, never fussed
about doing his job and would never leave you hanging when it came time
to Rock and Roll!
