Dearest Niko, you are adorable! What a gorgeous Miniature Schnauzer you are, both in profile and reflected full-face! Can't get much "..purdiern that," as great-grandmother put it! You are a joy to your loving and beloved Mom and Dad, "pure love wrapped in that warm, fuzzy, little body." You are very smart and love to watch Animal Planet, so your parents leave the TV on when they go out. You and they all love each other dearly, don't you. What a delightful love-filled home you share!

Congratulations, darling Niko, on being chosen today's Dog of the Day! We hope you and your dear Mom and Dad and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.
