Nik Nak just wanted to be loved, that’s all any dog really wants in life. Toys and treats are all well and good, but at the end of the day, they just want to get nice pets and have a human to love and to be loved by in return.

So when Nik Nak was dropped off by his owners at a local vet, the vet technicians were appalled when they said he should just be put down, and that he was “too yucky” to be kept alive and that the world would be a better place with him not in it.

It’s hard to believe that there are actually people like that in the world, but all that matters is that Nik Nak is no longer in their hands. The amazing team of vets gave him a bath for the first time ever, and began to nurse this little guy back to health. He had scabs all over his face, and it took some time, but eventually he began to look a bit better. It turned out he was only “ugly” because those two rotten humans had taken such poor care of him to begin with!

Then, Kam Nurock decided to take the little guy in as a foster parent. She looked after him and prepared him for that beautiful day when he was finally adopted for good by a family who would actually treat him well.

But after a few weeks, Kam realized that she had finally found the dog she had been waiting for, and that Nik Nak had been home all along!
