ABOUT LIVE LIKE A DOG TODAY

Hi, I’m Roy Medico, and I live in Upstate New York. Twelve years ago, we rescued Mozzie, a pitbull/boxer mix. A year later, Marlow, my little French bulldog/pit mix, joined the family. These two have changed my life in ways I never expected.

Mozzie is my loyal shadow—always by my side, eager for morning walks, and endlessly food-motivated. He loves being chased, car rides, and cherishes every moment of connection. Marlow, in contrast, is more independent, sleeps most of the day and comes alive at night for a game of tug-of-war—always ending the day with plenty of goodnight kisses.

Beyond their unique personalities, Mozzie and Marlow embody the timeless qualities that make dogs so extraordinary: unconditional love, resilience, and a joyful presence in every moment. As I've watched them grow, I've come to understand the profound lessons they offer us humans—lessons in living fully, loving unconditionally, and finding joy in life's simple moments. These insights have inspired me to learn from them and apply their wisdom to my own journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

As a result, I was inspired to create Live Like a Dog Today, a movement and brand dedicated to embracing life with the same energy and heart as our four-legged companions. Through inspirational and motivational content, apparel, and everyday reminders, my goal is to encourage others to live with purpose and find adventure in the little things. As my dogs grow older, I'm reminded of the importance of cherishing every moment and leaving a lasting impact. This website serves not only as a tribute to Mozzie and Marlow but also as a legacy inspired by the lessons they've taught me.

Because life is better when we Live Like a Dog Today.

Update May 2025: My baby girl Marlow passed suddenly in April of 2025. It has been one of the hardest times in my life. I started this site and movement because of the lessons my dogs have taught me and as a legacy for my dogs. I just didn't imagine I would need it quite yet. Marlow’s playful spirit and gentle presence brought joy to every day. Marlow was fiercely independent yet incredibly loving, always saving her sweetest kisses for bedtime. She delighted in playful moments but never missed the chance to indulge in a good nap, reminding me daily of the beauty in balancing joy and rest. Although it is not easy and I am still struggling deeply with her loss, Marlow will always be in my heart, and I will strive to live each day in a way that honors the lessons she taught me. I love and miss you baby girl, love dad.
