Kovu 🤍
My first dog. My first real partner in life.
This photo was from our first year together—before I knew just how much he would shape me. From 19 years old into my mid-30s, he was by my side through everything. We had seasons where we had nothing… even living out of my car for two months when I first came to Chicago. But I was never alone. He kept me safe, grounded, and gave me a reason to keep going when things felt impossible.
He taught me patience. He taught me compassion. He showed me a kind of love I hadn’t experienced before.
I truly don’t think I’d be where I am today without him. And Katelyn's Dog Pack wouldn’t exist without Kovu.
The bond we have with our dogs is something you can’t explain—you just feel it.
Miss you every day, my boy 🐾
K-O-V-U forever
