Lurking from the mist of the ages emerges 150 pounds of the strongest animal on earth, pound for pound.  Legend says part Lion, gargoyle and dog - but unlike any animal you've ever encountered.  It moves like a lion, fights like a bear, and has an unmatched devotion for it's master.  The dog that fought in the coliseum and followed man into battle.  The protectors of family and estates for thousands of years. Modern people cannot fathom the power of the Neo.  It was his likeness that was used as gargoyles on ancient buildings. He was Ceasar's bodyguard.  He was Genghis Khan's war dog. He was friend to Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Alexander the Great.  He has come down the long 50 centuries unchanged.  It was a Neo they spoke of when they wrote, "Then let slip the dogs of war."  In spite of the terrifying countenance of the Neo, he is a soul of  love and commitment to his family.  He is cognizant of and responsive to the frailties of the elderly, handicapped and children.  The family's best friend, the intruder's worst nightmare. What is it with the Neo that commands such a rush of awe?  No other dog has this presence.  Leonardo and Alexander the Great chose the Neo.  Why? Because of the ferocious bond he forms with his family.  Why have people been reproducing the Neapolitan Mastiff almost unchanged for over 5,000 years? Once you own one, you'll understand.
