Meet Mike Mattingly, affectionately known as "Old Trucker" from Alabama, whose heartwarming travel stories have captured the hearts of millions online. Mike's journeys have taken him far and wide, always with his adorable furry friends by his side.

It all started when two cat-loving doggos accompanied Mike on the road. However, as they got older, staying home seemed like a much better option.

Their home in Bear Creek was a wonderful place where Mike and his wife, in addition to their two dogs, cared for a bunch of stray cats. They regularly provided veterinary care and ensured they were well-fed and healthy.
