Gizmo's Page
Gizmo (Gazon's Who-da-Knew, CGC) is our "model".  He has done ads for Science-Diet, Fort Dodge Pharmacuticals, Hallmark,  Bayer. and the Rose Bowl Parade. Perhaps you have seen some of his ads in your vets office. We will try to show you some of Giz's best work on this page and tell you a little about how he got his start.  Gizmo, born in 1996, is an American Cocker Spaniel.  He is the ASCOB (Any Solid Color Other than Black) variety.  He visits schools in our Pet Safety Program and has met as many as 500 grade school kids in one day.  Needless to say, he is very socialized and comfortable with people.
A typical day in Gizmo's life, is spent sleeping, eating, and "feeding his fish".  His job in the summer months is to take fish food out to his mom & dad's goldfish pond.  However, there are days when Gizmo has to actually go to work and earn his keep.  Below is a typical day on "the set"..

The end of the day.... the light is fading, the shadows are getting long, the crew has packed up and gone.  Gizmo can relax and enjoy a fine fall day.

In addition to his modeling career, Gizmo has dreams of becoming a NASCAR driver (hey, they're just dreams).  Below he is shown in his first race car.  Gentledogs, start your engines!!
