Forget the final episode of Friends, if I lived in Dallas I'd be watching this:
His TV show is called Petkeeping With Marc Morrone, but you can barely see Mr. Morrone behind all the preening, squawking, camera-hogging animals arrayed – sometimes one atop another – on the table in front of him.Harvey the Flemish giant rabbit, Dixie the dachshund and Murphy the mutt are the real stars of this show, along with more than 30 of their furry, feathered or scaly friends.
Mr. Morrone has loved animals since he was a toddler. When he was 18, he and a friend opened a pet store on Long Island in New York. It's called Parrots of the World, but it stocks all sorts of animals.
You can see some of the collection on his show, which is broadcast Saturdays at 11:30 a.m. on KDFW-TV (Channel 4). Mr. Morrone took a break from cleaning cages recently to talk with us.
