Hawley is Poppy Kids Pediatric Dentistry’s beloved pup and sweetest team member. A gentle and loving golden retriever, she has mastered the art of spreading comfort with her wagging tail and calm nature. While Hawley isn’t always at the office—when she is here, she brings love and joy, helping make visits feel warm and positive.
Outside of her “work,” Hawley enjoys rolling on the lawn and lounging in the shade at her grandparents’ house. She also loves playing with her goldendoodle cousins, Tiffany and Apple, and never turns down belly rubs, treats, or a game of tug.
Hawley's favorite snacks are crunchy carrots and apple slices (seeds removed, of course!), and she loves how they help keep her teeth clean and bright—just like we encourage for all our young patients!
