Nick

Nick is the Topp Law office mascot.  Nick was rescued after being starved, beaten and abandoned for dead by his prior owner.  He was adopted by Susan Topp and nourished back to health while convalescing at the Topp Law offices.  He still occasionally spends the day at the office and he likes milk bones, especially from office visitors.
