Meet Nico the 'Anderson Live' Mascot

LAP WARMER

One of Nico's most important jobs on the Anderson Live set is to make sure all the celebrity guests feel warm and fuzzy. 

WHAT'S UP IN THE HOOD?

One obvious thing about this tiny pup is that he knows how to dress. Even when Nico is snuggling in for a quiet night, he does it in style.

READY TO GO 

Weighing only 3.5 pounds, Nico is a bundle of joy that is easy to take anywhere. 

SMELL THE FLOWERS

City life is pretty pawesome, but even the most social animal stars need some time to reconnect with nature. 

THE MAIN MAN

Thanks to his job, Nico gets an enviable amount of alone time with Anderson Cooper — something the pooch is very protective of.

A BREAK FROM THE BIZ

Making appearances on Anderson Live, managing talent, keeping up on all the gossip and attending to normal dog duties can really wear a pup out. 

BABY FACE

Even as a tiny tot, Nico had what it took to get the attention of others — namely heart-melting sweetness.

PREPARED POOCH

In New York, you have to face the elements all the time, even if you are on four paws. Years of sudden rainstorms and freak blizzards have taught Nico to be always ready. Fashionably ready, of course. 

PERKED UP 

Unlike many in the TV biz, Nico does not run on coffee. This little dog manages to create the energy to stay alert all on his own. 

FAUXHAWK FIDO 

Nico is a Chihuahua and Poodle mix, which leads to quite the natural haircut.
