Nick, who is also deaf, fell in love with little Emerson in the first 2 seconds of their first meet up, after the 6-week-old black Labrador mix puppy made a b-line straight for Nick and sat at his feet, as according to The Epoch Times.

The poor little puppy had previously suffered from seizures and a canine parvovirus infection, which caused him to be held back from being adopted for some time. Thankfully, the strong little guy healed and managed to find himself a forever home in Nick, who has already taught Emerson how to sit, lie down and come by just signing.

So proud of Emerson and how smart he is! He has done so well learning these tricks. He’s a food motivated boy 😁 . . . . . #nickandemerson #labsofinstagram #adoptdontshop #blacklabpuppy #blacklabsofinstagram #thatsahappydog #goodboy #deaflove #smartboy

“If Nick reaches up and shakes his ear lobe, Emerson would bark – it’s so cute,” said Richelle, Nick’s mother, adding that they were meant for each other.

Thanks to their instant fame on Instagram, hitting over 30,000 followers since releasing their joint account, the duo has also released a children’s book titled ‘I Picked Him: A Nick and Emerson Story’.

We can’t wait to see what new adventures this adorable duo will go on next!
