Sometimes, when we say animal assistant, we mean it! Kiera is the local Irish wolfhound lass who mostly likes to lounge and play with her stuffies. She enjoys meeting new people, rawhide chewies, and is more of a lover than a fighter, but she does provide lots of enthusiasm for Kate's adventures. She also likes gardening and being a faithful bestest girl ever.
