Kobuk
Willow Rock's Haunted Timbers
THROW! BUT DO NOT TAKE! Is the number one thing on Kobuk's mind at all times. This dog looooooves his frisbee. According to him, the sun rises and sets on it. You can also find Kobuk snooting around for pets. He identifies his Spirit Animal as Sven the Reindeer from the movie, Frozen.

​
Kobuk was the one that started it all for us. I choose to believe he had one of the bestest lives a good boy like him could ever have. He departed from this life peacefully and comfortable, surrounded by his family at home on March 7 2025. He left behind a Kobuk-sized hole in our hearts but he lives on in our memories of him. They are never with us long enough <3
