GOOD NEWS! MEILO, THE HOMELESS MAN'S DOG IS FINE

(Ed.'s Note: We have been asked a few times in the past few days if we knew whether the dog of  a homeless man who lives in the doorway of a closed store caddy corner from La Casa del Nylon near the corner of Adams and 13th streets was alright. Apparently, its owner had taken sick recently and they were worried about the dog.

He and countless others, including the guy sitting on the sidewalk, live at the corner and spent the last few frigid days sleeping outside in their makeshift home. We are happy to report that the dog, whose name the guy on the sidewalk told us was Meilo, is alive and well. His bodily functions seem to be ok because when we were talking to the gent in the photo he took a pee.)
