Berlin Pd Jax

Jax and I had the privilege of assisting Franny and Officer Tim Schaffer (Harvard Police Department) at the Special Olympics yesterday at the Russell Street Athletic Complex in Littleton, MA.

What an incredible day filled with inspiration, determination, and pure joy. We had the opportunity to cheer on the athletes, meet amazing families and new friends, and witness firsthand the strength and spirit of this remarkable community.

Seeing the athletes smiling, pushing themselves, supporting one another, and simply having fun was truly the highlight of the day. Their courage, perseverance, and positivity reminded us all what sports — and life — are really about.

It was an honor to be part of such a meaningful event, and we are grateful for the memories and connections made throughout the day. Berlin Police Department, Boonefield Labradors, Jan Gottesman, Franny the Comfort Dog

There are moments that really hit you—and today is one of them. I couldn’t be more proud of K9 Jax for completing the Friendly Find/Tracking Academy. This dog gives me everything he has, every single time we step out together. His heart, his drive, his determination… it’s something you can’t teach, and it never goes unnoticed.
Jax doesn’t just do the work—he lives for it. No matter how tough the track or how long the day, he shows up ready and refuses to quit. Watching him push through and succeed time after time fills me with a kind of pride that’s hard to put into words. He truly never disappoints, and I’m beyond grateful to have him by my side.
A heartfelt thank you to Charlie and Pat from Professional K9 Services. Your guidance, patience, and dedication didn’t just train a dog—you helped build a stronger team. What Jax and I accomplished is a reflection of the incredible work you do.
This one means a lot. 🐾 Berlin Police Department, Boonefield Labradors, Jan Gottesman, Professional Canine Services

I Caught K9 Jax sneaking a break to enjoy the St. Patrick’s Day festivities ☘️. Not sure when he found time to take bagpipe lessons, but I’ve got to say—he’s got great form! Always a blast hanging out with good old Jax. Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! 🍀🐾”Berlin Police Department, Boonefield Labradors, Jan Gottesman

I am proud to announce that K9 Jax has successfully completed the testing process and is now officially certified as a therapy dog. This achievement represents a significant milestone and reflects the many hours of training, discipline, and perseverance required to meet such a high standard.
This accomplishment would not have been possible without the exceptional guidance and dedication of Erin Moreal. Her commitment, expertise, and unwavering support throughout this process played an instrumental role in helping Jax reach this goal.
I am deeply grateful for all the hard work that went into this achievement and look forward to the positive impact K9 Jax will make as a certified therapy dog. Congratulations to Jax and sincere thanks to Erin for her outstanding dedication. Berlin Police Department, Boonefield Labradors, Jan Gottesman
