The project started in November 2012 , and represents my vision of the intimate relationship dog - master, a strong and intimate bond that unites the soul and the everyday life by creating a special two species symbiosis.

Man's relationship with the dog make easyer the relationship , the approach and the understanding on the part of the individual mechanisms of nature.

Being the closest animal and now fully integrated into our society, the dog, in my opinion, plays a very important role in the future of mankind because thanks to his presence becomes a symbol to draw attention to what we need to improve in our society for as regards the environment and the protection of the planet, is the bulwark of the evolution of medical research ( antivivisectionist ) and the mirror of the society in which he lives (both positive aspects such as the protection and respect for the weak , for both negative as the deprivation of liberty and the absence of such liability . stray , abandoned , ect )

The project has been involved in the design of the advertising campaign for the event Milanese The Communication Week (La Settimana della Comunicazione), the largest Italian initiative dedicated to communication that has chosen as "testimonial" some of my “Hybrids” www.lasettimanadellacomunicazione.org
The photos belonging to the project portray dogs and owners that become a single individual (pictures and image processing are entirely made by me) at the time they were made more than 40 portraits continuously increasing due to the demands many admirers.
Some of these works belong to the permanent collection of several arts gallery in Italy .
