Glad to see you back. Your puppy is darling. I second Dagney on the car emergency kit. I carry one in my suv for me and my two Dobermans.

Dobe puppies are very susceptible to Parvo so make sure you get Niko to a good vet and started on puppy shots. I get mine out for socialization before the series of puppy shots are completed but I do use caution to avoid places frequented by lots of dogs like parks or pet stores. Lots of puppy socialization is very important with this breed.

Best of luck.
