Nikon, our beautiful Samoyed was killed by a car on a cold and rainy night of March 31, 2011. He and his sister and lifelong companion Cleo managed to escape from our backyard and go on what they must have thought would be a fun run through the neighborhood. It was not to be. Fortunately Cleo was not injured physically. We will sincerely miss our big boy. He was a perfect dog and companion, but more than that he was a member of our family.
