Kona

Office Mascot

Hi, my name is Kona, and I am the office mascot! Although you won’t see me during business hours, I work off-hours to make sure every office corner is sparkly clean! To look a part of being the mascot of a dental office, I brush my teeth daily and stay away from sweets. It’s ruff! When I am not busy working, I like to play fetch or take a stroll around Old Town Alexandria with my loving pawrents.
