Kona was always such a happy boy. He spent several years as a therapy dog bringing much joy to the people he visited at hospitals and nursing homes. He retired in 2006 when he became ill and was later diagnosed with Addison's disease.
Such a sweet and gentle soul. We know he is now playing happily at the Rainbow Bridge with his best buddy Cyrus, who left us in March 2005. We will see you again one day. Until then, we will miss you deeply.

You were a pain in the rear to potty train during that cold January month of 1997. Between 2000 and 2006, you touched the hearts of hundreds at the nursing homes and hospice. What a wonderful and compassionate friend you were! Say hello to Cyrus. I love you Kona.
