Nik and I were roommates in college and we ended up adopting a puppy together, and let me say, he is amazing with dogs! For starters, dogs love him, the number of times that I've seen this guy on the ground play wrestling with dogs is almost shocking, but he really does know how to wear them out with a good time. Perhaps more impressive (to me anyway) is how responsible and patient he can be with dogs. The rescue we adopted was a nervous puppy who was generally scared of men, but in all of the time that we spent training her, Nik never lost his cool. He would scold her if necessary, but he never yelled at her or did anything that scared her. As much as I wish I could say otherwise, he is definetely Lily's favorite, and for good reason. I can't recommend this guy enough!
