This guy was one of my favorite dogs of all time.  He was a siberian husky and loved to be out in the cold, especially if he was riding a boat.   I was at work and went out to move the slip for the crew  of an incoming run that was docking in Portland. I looked up and there sat Niko watching me, next to our huge Christmas wreath on the front of the Maquoit.  It was snowing and made  a perfect Christmas picture.
