Kona

This is Kona, now a 1½-year-old Welsh Corgi. She has a magnetism that draws people to her wherever she goes―even at the vet's office and pet store, where the employees see dogs all day long.

This photo was taken at a beach near Ventura, CA, when she was about 6 months old. She has just started dog agility lessons, which is mostly an exercise in me learning to be agile. ―Lisa Savvy James, Escondido CA
