On Kona’s Pond

This is a story of Kona a Bernese Mountain Dog and his adventures with the wildlife that live near and around the pond where he lives. The magic happens with this gentle giant when he discovers that most the encounters with many of the wildlife are peaceful and welcoming his presence. He lets them know that he will always protect them.
