Joining the KKN Family in 2004, native Tennesseean Pino brought his own brand of Southern charm and hospitality to the Big Apple—and to the lives of Karen's personal and professional connections. Whether from the distance of mere inches or across thousands of miles, seeing Pino's smile was a remedy to the world's nastiness and negativity. He was neither a companion nor a mascot: he was a member of the family, a friend, a comfort, a furry orb of enthusiasm, energy, and affection.
