This is Luca. He's a Maltese and will be two years old in October. He lives in Miami Beach, Florida. Luca enjoys the breeze in his face on the bike rides to the dog park because he knows after his daily run with dad, he gets to run and play with his doggie pals and play fetch the tennis ball with dad. He hugs, laughs (a happy little sound), and grabs dad's finger with his paw.
My son rescued his dog on July 1, 2018 from a family who could no longer keep him. They go every morning (weather permitting) to the dog park, and after an exercise run Luca plays with his paw pals in the park.
Luca is one year and eight months old and he's an incredibly smart, and true saint, in fact his full name is San Luca il Bianco, (Italian for: St. Luke the White), Lucchese. You can see his uniquely amazing personality by reviewing his Instagram page. And here are a couple short videos.
The Maltese breed originated in the Mediterranean between the islands of Malta, Sicily and mostly southern Italy, where the breed originally flourished, so Luca's heritage makes him ' un cane Italiano' - ('cane' is pronounced: "kahn-ay", also the origin of 'canine').
Luca is a Standard Maltese, hence his slightly larger size, (11 pounds), and has athleticism, especially running (and jumping) ability, as seen on Instagram.
