Zapato “Z-Man” Hamblin Mossman

Zapato “Z-Man” Hamblin Mossman of New Castle, Indiana, the beloved pitbull of Billie Mossman, crossed over the Rainbow Bridge on Thursday, March 14, 2024. Zapato was known to many in the community as “Z-Man. Zapato was born in December of 2010, but his official “gotcha day” was January 17, 2011. Zapato was a gift to Billie from a good friend trying to mend Billie’s broken heart following the death of her Black Labrador who was poisoned. Zapato filled a void in Billie’s heart and put a smile back on her face. Zapato brought happiness and joy to Billie’s life for nearly 14 years. He was a big, beautiful boy who had an even bigger heart. Zapato loved everyone and everything around him, he was especially fond of his favorite toys Squeek-Squeek and Soda Pup. He enjoyed loving on and snuggling every dog and cat who crossed his path. Zapato will always remain in Billie’s heart and will also be sadly missed by his human brother, James Calvin Hamblin, sister-in-law, Jessica Hamblin and nephew, Jeremiah. Zapato will also be missed by his dog girlfriend, Summer Dawn. Zapato and his great big heart will be missed by everyone who was blessed to have known him.
