I have to chime in on this.....

My mom had this little story about her neighborhood in Van Nuys, CA.

She mentioned a man who ran over a dog and killed it, on the block she lived in.


She said that for years afterwards the man was known as a 'Mata Perros' - translated?


He kills dogs or Dog Killer.

In high school my journalism class took a trip to the Los Angeles Times building and were given a tour of the setup.

One of the things that amazed me was the 'morgue'. The morgue was an area where all the obituaries are pre written for all people of note-actors, politicians, dignitaries and so on...

So when that person dies, there is no rush to write a newspaper piece on them-the changes are made as time goes on and there are just a few facts to insert into the article before it's published.


So........be assured that when the time comes for the lord to call MV to heaven that no one reading his obit will escape the facts of what he did in his life.

He has done penance for what he did to those dogs, but he'll go down in history as a "Mata Perros".

He'll never escape that footnote to his life....
