Kola, the Dog of the Day
Name: Kola
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Chocolate Labrador Retriever
Home: Keystone, Colorado, USA
 
   After following the Pet of the Day for months now I finally got the nerve to submit my best friend Kola. Jesse and I decided to name him after the Spanish word Kola, which means "tail," since we knew his tail would dictate our interior designs. Since then we have eliminated all coffee tables in the house.

    Kola is my running partner and really does protect me from everything. We have come across coyotes and even a black bear on our pre-dawn trail runs, and luckily he listens to me and doesn't try to go "play" with those funny looking dogs. Since I got a couple of horses (which has always been a dream for me), Kola has been really loving life. He comes with me on trail rides and has a great time playing tag with Walker, the fun loving Appalousa, who runs around the pasture after the quick and agile dog. I feel so blessed to have the love and companionship of Kola and my horses Chocolate and Walker. I hope other people that are befriended by animals find the same kind of friendship with their pets.
