A Present for Junket is a heartwarming tale about a lovable dog named Gherkin on a mission to find the perfect birthday gift for her best friend. But what truly makes a great present? The answer might surprise you…

Woken early by the rumbling garbage truck, Gherkin’s first thought is—yum, rubbish! But then she remembers—it's Junket’s birthday, and she needs to find the perfect gift. Would Junket love a new toy? A cozy jacket? Gherkin searches high and low, only to discover that the best present has been right in front of her all along.
