This Thanksgiving, Nika would like everyone to know that she's thankful for being the cute one at the table.

Not the new baby (overrated) and not the teenage cousin bragging about their "viral" TikTok (11 views). No, this year's headliner is Nika, and she's happy to be the emotional support being that everyone wants to sit on the floor with and pet.

Nika is a senior chocolate lab mix who has cracked the code to happiness: sunshine, sniffs, walks, and naps. She's silly, soulful, and does an adorable happy dance. This holiday season, why not adopt the dog who radiates peace?

Steve Caporizzo's Pet Connection has generously sponsored Nika's adoption fee. Apply if you'd like to meet this lovely dog.
