Many of us have been lucky enough to have a special person or special animal come into our lives at just the right time. Buddy was one of those special animals. A month or two before he arrived at our home both my wife and I had each dealt with the passing of a parent. About that same time our dog of 12 years succumbed to old age.

On March 12, Juan Garcia, a 53-year-old homeless man, was brutally murdered in an alley in the Westlake District, just west of downtown Los Angeles. At first, the police were stumped; there were no known witnesses and few clues. Then a 43-year-old undocumented immigrant who witnessed the crime came forward and told homicide detectives from the Rampart station what he saw. Because of his help, a suspect was identified and arrested a few days later while hiding on skid row. Because the witness was not afraid to contact the police, an accused murderer was taken off the streets, and we are all a little bit safer. Stories like this are repeated daily in Los Angeles.
