More: Niko was another rescue. He had been returned by 2 families stating he was aggressive. Like most rescues you have to earn their trust. He was not aggressive He was frightened. He has been beat sometime before us. Now he sleeps with my husband, our other rescue Koda and myself. He is very protective of me and he is very loving. He just wants to be close to his human(s) and his brother Koda.
