LEGENDS BETWEEN US

LEGENDS BETWEEN US

I spent two days with a new friend, he would be my brother if I had one, so now I have 😄

In the “LEGENDS BETWEEN US” series, I will introduce you to a guy in his place on the journey of learning about the “dog world”, why a dog accompanies us in life for more than ten thousand years with such consistency that God together with man can create and some of us are trying to continue it …

The man known as Mr. MIKE MORABITO

I have known about this man for a long time from the stories of my long-time Italian friend Vincenzo, but only now, as part of my breeding journey, the moment has finally arrived and I am sitting with Mike in the middle of his private museum of canine artifacts, an incredible library, containing English originals from 1804, many sculptures various representatives of the canine kingdom on the way of their historical development, drawings, artistic paintings, photographs, tools, original T-shirts and many cynological tools, original as the owner of this collection himself 👋

I will continue to tell you about our meeting, or rather about our conversation “how we both perceive the dog world” in our lives, you will see most of the things from his amazing collection and I believe that some of you will during your vacation that will take you near Castellón de la Plana at his door. Everything is possible if you really want to. I don’t think it’s possible to see all this together anywhere else. I’ve visited many of those truly great men who love dogs and their whole world, but I’ve never seen anyone like this. My meeting with Floyd Boudreaux, for example, was meeting an extra ordinary man in the history of true bulldogs in Amerika, Mike certainly belongs to this special club of aliens with whom I love to spend time, which can never be a loss, only a benefit and a joy.

So don’t forget to come back, I’m already working on a sequel …

Thank you, bro, for your time with me 🥂

Next time we will open MORABITO’s WINDOW INTO THE HISTORY OF THE DOG WORLD!
