This tragedy is a solemn reminder of the risks faced by those Mexican and US officials who are dedicated to protecting our communities, the US ambassador to Mexico, Ronald Johnson, wrote on X.

There were plenty of reasons not to do it and I had always talked myself out of it, convinced there would be a better time for it. Yet on March 3, 2011, I found myself at a pet rescue, walking in the door still not entirely convinced getting a dog was a good idea. I'm just going to look, I told myself. See what they have. Maybe they wouldn't even have any.

"Obviously, bringing the smallest dog in the world with the tallest dog in the world, there was a little bit of anxiety. But I think he was very gentle [and] very, very kind [to Pearl], as best as he could be."
