Sharing several photos of her new dog Huckleberry that were taken during a recent photo shoot, Annika wrote on her Instagram page, “After a long search this lil’ monster came into my life thanks to @lifeanimalrescue. He has been a bright light during a difficult year and is a beautiful reminder that family can be chosen. It can be nurtured and grown. And love can never be lost because it is within us always – we just have to choose it. I thought I knew what my future would look like, turns out it’s even brighter now in the absence of what I thought I wanted. I found me…And then I found my Huckleberry. Now we are both free.”

She then added, “Thank you again to Emily for bringing him into my life and @heirlumephotography for capturing these moments.”
