Beautiful as Aphrodite, wise as Athena, swifter than Hermes, and stronger than Hercules, Princess Nico of the Terrace of Windsor fights for justice in this cruel world. A mysterious Anatolian Shepherd (or maybe Kangol) mix, she hails from Azerbaijan where she honed her martial arts skills to become the fearless warrior that she is. Through her endless heroics, Nico has become a beacon of hope to all who find themselves torn between good and evil. A lady of leisure by day, at night she sheds all pretense, dons her cape and takes to the shadowy streets to inflict justice where justice is due.

Nico’s side-kick Bear (an American Bulldog) serves as Nico’s steadfast companion and mentor, as he is both strong and wise, often pushing Nico through the difficult parts of her Grim Crusade. He was found tied to a bench and covered in grease, and then one day the woman fostering him walked past the (amazing) restaurant Werkstatt on Church and Coney Island Avenue. The moment Werkstatt’s owner, chef Thomas, saw Bear, it was love at first sight, and he had no choice but to adopt him. (By the way, they’re open for take out/delivery and the Austrian food is glorious, check it out! The schnitzel is to die for.)

What a happy story. Congratulations on being the Dog (Pair) of the Month, Nico & Bear!
