Through The Good Boys Club, Dr. Morici hopes to improve access to quality veterinary care in the Netherlands. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling, hiking, reading at cafés, and exploring new parks with her Labrador Retriever, Luca.
#1 Good Boy and company Co-Founder. Luca is a 6-year-old Labrador Retriever born in Alabama.
As a young pup, he failed out of duck hunting school and was relinquished to an animal shelter, where he was adopted by an adoring young veterinary student. He soon moved to New York City and took on the role of pigeon terrorist, where he excelled despite his appalling professional background.
A generous lad with a big heart, Luca volunteered as an emergency blood donor whose late-night donations saved the lives of many dogs and ulcerated eyeballs. After sniffing all the butts that NYC had to offer, this southern gentleman-turned-New-York-socialite packed his tennis balls and headed to Amsterdam, where he developed a special passion for canal swimming.
When he’s not plunging after meerkoet in the canals of Amsterdam, you’ll find this good boy begging for treats behind café counters, launching at cats in ground floor windows, wrestling his girlfriend LouLou to the ground, or following his mom to the bathroom.
