Nick, the “sort of water dog”

This post is dedicated to Nick, the “sort of water dog” that we learned to love. Along with his joy for life and his innocent happiness, Nick shares qualities with Boatswain, the famous dog of Lord Byron:

“(…)

who possessed Beauty without Vanity,
Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferosity,
and all the virtues of Man without his Vices.

(…)”

You can almost believe us, just by looking to the following photograph (taken last year):

Unfortunately, Nick is seriously ill with leishmaniasis and the next 30 days will prove to be crucial. Because the disease has not affected the kidneys, there is still a chance. We will pray for you, boy.
