Yes but technically no. Scamp was born in Italy but his family left shortly after his birth. For most of his life, his family would move around lot because his dad, Ken, couldn't find a stable job, or at least one that would allow them to stay in a place for an extended period of time. So when another opportunity revealed itself, it was onto the the next town or next state. Most of their time was spent in southern and midwestern regions of the US so this would've been Scamp's first time in New York City
