Nikko

One family adopted three GGBR hounds in early-2010! This is the success story of these three lucky boys: Here are a few photos of our boys! (Front:) WALTER (Left) NIKKO (Rt) SEBASTIAN, he's the one with a pillow underneath!! It has only been less than a year since we've rescued these guys but it feels as if we've had them all our lives! How can anyone give up these guys as they are the most loving and loyal dogs I have ever met! It didn't happen over night, but eventually each dog picked who they want to be with the most. Sebastian is attached to my husband, Vince. Nikko is attached to my son, Christian who is 13. And of course, Walter is very much attached to me! We know that they have separation issues so it was very important, from the beginning, to show them all the love and attention they are looking for and they need; and to assure them they will not be abandoned again. Everyone's gotten used to their schedule and that they will tell you when it is time for "treats", "breakfast", and "dinner" they don't care whether it's Sunday morning at 7am they just know it's "breakfast!" As the saying goes, "THE INMATES ARE RUNNING THE ASYLUM" is how our house has become! If we only had a 10 acre home I would adopt every single one of them!! Maria K. Vincenzi
