# Kona - the beast

It is hard to get good detailed shots of Kona due to how dark and shiny he is. I always try to get shots that show how "beefy" he is, because he is really very much a beefcake.

He looks like he almost has an AmStaff build...which you know I love.

I know - he really does! I was just telling Jen he looks like he is Hokka x Pit or something.

THAT would be one tough dog. Can you imagine? Bear would walk up waiving white flags.

Wow! Kona is a tank! He is so handsome! I love his face!

Hahaha. Waving white flags? Too funny. :-) As big as Kona is, he still manages to be handsome. :-)

Funny, I never really thought of Kona as beefy....til now!!! He doesn't look like he's overweight...just muscular.

lol - That's a funny image Jessica... I agree to, a bear would be like... "Uh, never mind". Yea Kona is not fat - if anything he is a bit skinny... the dog is just solid muscle! This pic makes him look like he has no neck - lol! ----

His one beautiful dog, I'll tell you that! He does look a bit "neckless". About the bear vs the HokkaxPit, I'm watching a documentary on tigers and just saw an Indian Black Bear getting a tiger to back off. 8-|
