More: Nina and Niko are rescue dogs we adopted more than 10 years ago at 15 months old. They are the namesakes of our Inn, Black Dog Farm Inn at Mt Welby, a 5-star B&B in Virginia's wine country. They have greeted hundreds of guests, are beloved even by the non-dog lovers, and they are mentioned by name in most of our (glowing) reviews. They are sweet, polite, gracious hosts who take their hospitality responsibilities very seriously :-)
