Every elite unit has a specialist, and ours is Corporal Pickle. A grey and white shorthair of four years, Pickle holds the Gym record for longest recorded skid on laminate: 3.6 metres, ending in a perfectly dignified sit. He has never once admitted the skid was an accident.
Pickle teaches our Tuesday Corners class, in which recruits learn to take a ninety degree turn at full speed without grabbing the rug. His methods are unorthodox. They involve a great deal of watching, a small amount of muttering, and one lemon scented candle he has been told not to touch. Treat him with respect. He remembers who was late.
