Paige Spiranac regularly shares social media content on the golf course, and the 30-year-old influencer’s golf-themed TikTok on Sept. 15 featured a furry companion: her dog, Niko.
The brief snippet started with Spiranac standing on the green in a casual black athleisure set as a younger-looking version of her dog sat on the turf not far away. As she swung through with her golf club, Niko slowly got up and the clip transitioned to present day, in which Spiranac’s pet lovingly snuggled up to her as she practiced her putting indoors.
“Years of Niko watching me play,” the one-time SI Swimsuit model wrote in her caption. “Such a good boy.” She originally adopted Niko, an Australian cattle mix, in 2017.
Plenty of Spiranac’s 1.5 million followers on the video-based platform chimed in to the comments section to remark on the sweet moment.
“Such a cute puppy 🐶 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️,” one fan gushed.
“Awww that’s awesome and so amazing he has been there for so long 😊,” one person noted.
“Oh my gosh! Seeing Niko so small is crazy!!” someone else observed.
“I wish my dog would golf with me!” another followed added.
“More videos with Niko please... Also you need to develop a product line for Niko, covers, tee shirts etc.,” one fan suggested.
Spiranac often features her dog in her social media content. In January 2021, she showed off her putting skills—and Niko’s adoration of his owner—using the same putting mat by Perfect Practice.
