Oppenheim and Fitzgerald took to Instagram to break the news of Niko’s passing in a heartfelt statement. Alongside several photos of the proud furry parents with their pets, including one with a tattoo of his name, the heartbroken couple wrote:
“It is with heavy hearts that we write this letter to you our sweet baby boy, for 18 years you made us smile and laugh, and filled our world with countless happiness.”
The tribute continued, “With your unconditional love and loyalty, you comforted us when we cried and helped heal our hearts when they were broken. You lift us up in our time of need and celebrate with us our victories and successes.”
Oppenheim and Fitzgerald credited their late dog for the “valuable lessons” he taught them, adding that the beloved pet “opened our eyes to depths we didn’t know love could reach, taught us levels of patience and selflessness, and show us what true loyalty and devotion looks like.”
The “Selling Sunset” star praised the late Niko for being “a patient, protective and loving brother to your sister Zelda and your brother Thor.” Recalling the last moments of the furry family member, the caption of the post read:
“Even at the end when your body and mind failed and beyond exhaustion, you still tirelessly fought to survive for us, refusing to give up. It’s our turn to be selfless and strong for you. Tearing our own hearts out so that we can help you avoid suffering is the only option we have lovingly.”
The reality star described saying goodbye to Niko as “the hardest thing we’ve ever done” before expressing how empty he was to lose him in their lives.”
“We have missed you so much, but you are at peace now. We know you are still with us, just in a different form. We struggle to find words to describe our feelings for you, because nothing can express the love and joy that fills our hearts, where you will always remain,” they wrote.
