Honoring a legacy
Many of our South Bay readers probably knew Dr. Christine Omoto Beezley, a much loved local veterinarian who died last year at the age of 56.
She owned and operated PV Village Pet Clinic, 201 Palos Verdes Blvd., Redondo Beach, in Riviera Village, but also worked with police K-9 units.
I never met her, but I was impressed by the outpouring of love and respect for her when she lost her battle with cancer in 2007. One of our Daily Breeze photographers and his wife took their dogs to her and told me at the time they'd be at a loss to find a vet they liked as much.
From 10 to 11 a.m. on Saturday (Oct. 4), Dr. Chris's many friends and admirers are hosting the 2nd annual Chris Omoto Beezley Dog/Pet Walk as a way to raise awareness for the many animal clinics that operate in the local area.
Participants meet at MIramar Park, 201 Paseo de la Playa, Torrance, and walk to the PV Village Pet Clinic. Bring your pets -- or not. All are welcome.
About the Bloggers
Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
