Found in LA: Farewell to a Friend in Silver Lake

SoLongtoBingo.jpg

A few days ago we heard about the death of Bingo, the wiener dog that was a familiar face--of the four-legged variety--to Silver Lake-rs.

Bingo was part of the family at Pull My Daisy, and one of their employees, Rhachel, wrote to let us know about the loss, saying: "If you are familiar with the Sunset Junction at all, you have seen this little guy. You have probably fed him bacon or maybe your kid has chased him down the street squealing. He was an awesome little man and he will be missed by a lot of people."

LAist Featured Photos Pool contributor Wish By Night caught a lovely shot two nights ago of the chalk-written tributes to Bingo that popped up on the sidewalks of Silver Lake. So long, Bingo, you'll be missed!

Thanks for posting the message. We are having a memorial this Sunday at noon next to his picture on the mural at the corner of Sunset and Hyperion. Bring candles, bring stories, bring bacon.

And thanks to everyone who has come by the Daisy to give their sympathy. I know it really means a lot to Sarah, Bingo's mom, and to those of us that were fortunate enough to work with Bingo.

Bingo's passing is very sad indeed. I stopped in last week to visit Sarah and Bingo and he wasn't feeling well according to Sarah. He wouldn't get out from under the counter, which seemed odd to us both.
Sarah, if you want, I can come over after mooching bacon from unsuspecting diners if it would help in any way.

Thinking of you and remembering Bingo...

Sarah, although I do not know you, I just want to tell you that I share your pain. I have seen Bingo every time I visited the stores, and his attitude and personality have put a smile on my face every time.

I am so sorry for your loss, but Bingo has really touched a lot of people, and although he will be missed, he will also be remembered by so many friends for so long.

We will all keep Bingo alive in our hearts! Please let me know if you are thinking of a memorial fund for any cause that is dear to your heart, and I would be honored to contribute.
