Niko - Westmeath

Niko is my 11-month-old rottweiler and more importantly, the backbone of our small family. My partner gifted Niko to me while I was undergoing chemotherapy to try and lift my spirits when I was home alone ill.

To say it worked is an understatement, Niko became my shadow who made me laugh through all the hardest parts of life and made me enjoy the good parts even more. He stayed by my side through everything and somehow managed to make it bearable. Niko would make a great Nose as he leaves a mark on everyone he meets.

He is a special dog with a special heart and my world is a brighter place with him in it, as is the life of my family, and even people who meet him out and about, he gives love freely and without thought, everyone is special to Niko and he has the power to make you feel that way.

Niko will talk to your heart and he will teach you how to listen. Niko is the best friend I have ever had and I thank god every day for sending me this Angel.
