Why Not Travel Store - Pet of the Month for June 2023

   🎶He manaʻo healoha, No ka ipo lei manu🎶 *Ka Ipo Lei Manu - Queen Kapiʻolan

Translation: 

   🎶I have a feeling of love, For my cherished sweetheart🎶

From Hawaii, to Ha 'Why' i, comes our June 2023 Pet of the Month, Ipo. 

Aloha, ʻo ipo koʻu inoa. Ipo ma ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi he ipo. He ʻīlio lawelawe au a kokoke au i ka 19 makahiki. You don't speak Hawaiian? Ok, here it is in English.

Hello, my name is Ipo. Ipo in Hawaiian is sweetheart. I am a service dog and I am almost 19 years old. 

You can see I was properly named as I have been a sweetheart, taking care of my parents since they got me at a swap meet on the Big island when I was six weeks old. I love my parents and they love me and when they come to the Why Not in Ha 'Why' i, they let me explore the great attractions and murals at the store. Aloha!

Pet owners: When the temperature is warm (70° F or above), please do not leave your pets in the car unattended.
