Wolf Warwick "Wik" Crothers

The Smartest, Most Playful Goofball in the World

Wik is a whirlwind wrapped in black with touches of silver and white fur - the kind of dog who makes you laugh, sprint, and hold your ribs all in the same afternoon. He is a genius of joy, an elite athlete of silliness, and the best leg snuggler in the business.

He lives for toys. He'll bring you one at random and demand a tug-of-war battle with a tail wag that says, “You ready, human?” And when you accept? You better hold on - because Wik's got strength and heart to spare.

But Wik isn't just playful - he’s fiercely protective. If anyone in the family - Simba, Rey, Kim, or Kevin - shows even the slightest sign of distress, Wik knows. He runs over, alert and gentle, pawing at you or making strange little worried sounds until you respond. Sometimes, he lays right on top of whoever needs comfort, as if to say, “I’ve got you.” He is always watching out for us, always tuned in.

He sleeps curled around Kevin’s legs almost every night, as if he’s guarding the family even in his dreams. It’s warm, it’s heavy, and it’s pure love. Unless he hears chocolate. Because somehow - despite never having tasted it - Wik knows when chocolate is in the house, and he will find it.

And let’s talk about the time Wik (on Kevin's 61st birthday) - sprinting full speed across the backyard - was watching his sister Rey instead of where he was going... and ran directly under Kevin’s legs. Kevin hit the ground hard, ribs bruised. And Wik? He trotted back, licking Kevin’s face like a champ. Moments later, Simba and Rey joined in. Love, chaos, healing - all in one dog pile.

There’s not a smarter or goofier soul than Wik. He outsmarts gates. He solves puzzles. He knows his toys by feel, by name, maybe even by scent. And when it’s time to rest? He sprawls across the bed like he owns it - because he kind of does.

There may be many dogs in this world,
but there’s only one Wik.
And he is absolutely unforgettable.
