Moritz, a Sweet and Happy Whippet

Meet Moritz. He’s a sweet and happy whippet. How do I know he’s sweet and happy? Because his humom is my cousin. I got to play with Moritz a few years ago when I went to Germany to visit my family. We played fetch with one of his favorite toys. He also was with us at a restaurant for a birthday celebration. I wish it was common for dogs to be allowed in restaurants in America like it is in Germany. Perhaps one day it will happen.

How did you decide on your dog’s name?
	If I remember correctly, Daddy came up with the name, because when we saw Moritz for the first time his little face was black and the rest of his body was beige. So, in the evening Daddy told me that maybe Moritz could be the right name for the little boy in an echo of Saint Maurice who was of indigenous African origin. And so, Moritz, the German translation of Maurice, became the name.
