Session notes: 
​
I first met Nordique in Sept 2013 when I visited the kennels in Whistler and have seen him a few times since. 
He and his brother Lion and foster sibling at the time, Luna (coming up) came to the studio together. Nordique gets a bit uncomfortable at times, and when he does, he puts his leg on his human's - just a paw, or part of his lower leg - just to let him know. I like that he found a way to communicate his unsureness with his human. Although Nordique was pretty nervous during his session. We managed to get the two photos needed for the project - thanks buddy!
Here's a throwback to an adventure with Nordique in Six Dogs Six Humans One Mountain.

Nordique is a survivor of the 2010 Whistler sled dog cull.
Nordique passed away May 1, 2020.
