Bergin College Of Canine Studies issued the following announcement on Nov 12.
Ever wonder how the service dog was started? Meet Kerry and Abdul! Our President, Bonita Bergin, worked with Kerry and Abdul to create the very first service dog team in history.
"Kerry is a historical figure, she and Golden-Lab cross, Abdul, were the first service dog team in the history of the world. Kerry was given numerous awards, featured in multiple articles and on TV shows. She was thanked by many celebratory figures including Sparky Schulz, Betty White, city, state and national politicians and most importantly, by those who followed the trail she set and were able to receive their own service dogs.
In her honor, we are creating a sensory garden named appropriately “Kerry and Abdul’s Sensory Garden” to keep their memory alive, while providing a place for our clients, pups and dogs, faculty, volunteers, visitors and staff to enjoy the peace and serenity Kerry and Abdul shared sitting together experiencing nature at its best."
