Puppy in Hawaii

A puppy we met at Kolekole beach park just out of Hilo on our last day on the Big Island. Her mother died when she was 2 weeks old, just a baby.
The original owner couldn’t handle the puppies without their mother so had to get rid of them. So we met the new owner taking this pup out for a walk. She’s going to get her trained as a service dog.
Unfortunately it’s common for dogs to not be well looked after in Hawaii … owners will simply rope them to a pole in the yard. No exercise, no stimulation, no play.
But not this puppy! Very playful, and an owner who understood how to raise a puppy properly.
Although this puppy was also a little bitey … nipped me a few times, and made Jenny’s hand bleed a bit. But besides that, a lot of fun! We’ll remember this particular little puppy.
Overview: I went to Hawaii with my girlfriend Jenny aka Allyeska for three weeks in July-August 2009. We spent a couple of days in O’ahu, almost a week on Kaua’i, a couple of days on Moloka’i, four days on Maui and a week on the Big Island.
