Ladies And Gentlemen, Meet Dakota!

Dakota is Dr. Vicki Thomson's favorite labrador.  Dakota enjoys long walks, fishing at the cabin, belly rubs, and going to work at Edina Pediatrics.  Dakota is our office mascot, and therapy dog.  When Dakota is not at Edina Pediatrics, he can be found lounging at Dr. Vicki's house.  He has over 20 "doggie friends", and has many "kiddo friends", too!  What can I say, he is a popular guy!  Dakota is not a fan of shots, loud noises, or diets.  He loves squirrels, swimming in the pool, and of course, working at Edina Pediatrics.  His favorite staff member (after Dr. Thomson and K.K.) is of course, Lindsey.  He thinks that Lindsey is a "sucker".  He can always con her into giving him a belly rub or milk bone.  Dakota knows he is very good looking, and relishes in the attention that his lovable mug brings him.  Go ahead, scratch behind his ears.  He will melt your heart.  Dakota can't wait to see you at your next visit to Edina Pediatrics.  He requests that you bring him a milk bone or frosty paw on your next trip to the clinic!  He also wishes that you would wear your seat belt, bike helmet, and help control the pet population... always have your pets spayed or neutered.  Safety first!
