Bingo Was His Name

Don't miss this heart-wrenching story of the massive tributes to 'Bingo,' the famous LA dachshund, the "King of Sunset Junction," the "Four-Legged Mayor of Silver Lake." Bingo was hit by a car on Sunday, March 30th, and the outpouring of support from the community is absolutely phenomenal. Excerpt from LA Weekly: “He was the heart of the neighborhood,” [neighbor] Joe Keeper goes on. “Bingo gave a lot more than he took. He was a truly altruistic person. With a person, it’s a two-way relationship, but with Bingo, it was him giving all the time. Bingo was an extremely public person. On my birthday, he would come in and give me a kiss and he would stand on my foot. He didn’t have a bad thing to say about anybody. I mean, how many times in your life do you get to meet somebody like that? Bingo was a complete person; he just happened to be trapped in a dog’s body.”
