DOG LIFE

Kaya Bear

We mourn the loss, and we celebrate the life of our dear friend and long standing family member — Kaya (Also known as “Kaya Bear” or “The Unreasonable Dingo”). Kaya was an integral part of the Unreasonable Team and Family for nearly 17 years. We are forever grateful for the time we were able to spend together. Having passed in early 2025, the legacy of Kaya’s life lives on in the world, in the heart of our founder, and in the heart of many members of our community who were fortunate enough to meet her (and scratch her ears).

She was an integral part of the Unreasonable’s founding team since she became our CEO's special advisor in the summer of 2008. Kaya actively joined and participated in nearly a dozen Unreasonable programs over the years. She played a critical role in bringing joy to dozens of Unreasonable Fellows, teammates, and mentors. Although she always had a welcoming personality, she was also known for always expressing exactly what she feels — embodying our team value of “Kindly Kandid” in every moment. We are privileged, and forever grateful, to have had Kaya on the team and for her continued love and support.
