“His name is Niko. I adopted him from the Oregon Humane Society about a year ago; he was rescued from California during the fires. He was 10 months old when I got him.

He’s really good with kids. One day, we put him in his cage because my little nephew was around. A little while later we realized we didn’t see my nephew around. When we found him, he was sitting next to Niko’s cage with his whole arm inside it. All Niko was doing was licking him.”
