Tell us about Koba: Kobe was selected from a breeder on a farm in eastern Iowa. His full name “Jacoby” originated from a former Yankees outfielder, Jacoby Ellsbury. Over time, Jacoby’s name inevitably became shortened to Kobe for easier pronunciation. Growing up his favorite activities included swimming in the creek, chasing soccer balls, and playing fetch. He would even hold up one arm and point to the ball in anticipation of retrieving it, which we would refer to as his “chicken wing”. He loved playing tug-of-war with all of his toys. He was very kind-mannered at all times, with the exception of silently begging for food during meals. Kobe got along perfectly with every animal and human that was fortunate to cross paths with him.
