Team Gherkin
“The Workin‘ Gherkin! He came to me right when I needed him.
Gherkin is my third PADS Service dog and my first BLACK DOG!! True brilliance comes in every color. Platinum, golden, yellow, red or black. It doesn’t matter when they all wear the blue and yellow super cape!
Gherkin literally leaped into my world and made it perfect – perfectly crazy and amazing. He’s just the right mix of workin‘ gherkin, crazy romping, playful, loving, licking, drooling, treat pinching…..he’s always by my side when needed. Gherkin knows exactly what to do. He’s kinda like a Ferrari in the body of a Toyota Tacoma – sleek and shiny but always ready to work! Elevator buttons, doors, dropped clickers, phones – none of these stand a chance! Gherkin pushes, tugs, opens, closes and picks up anything in his path. He’s always there when I need him. He’s my partner.
He puts a smile on my face even when I’m in excruciating pain. He even provides compression therapy with his big lovable lunk head, and lowers my blood pressure with his loving nature. He makes everyone laugh and is the Pickle-Boy we never knew we needed.
I can’t thank the PADS organization enough for pairing me with Gherkin. I don’t know how they do it, but PADS gets it right every single time. One black dog has changed my life. The people that fund PADS should know what a difference they are making. And to all the puppy cuddles, raisers and trainers, thank you for what you do.
Go Team Gherkin! “
