Charlie: Dog About Town

We read about the people that make up Campbell, so why not feature the dogs that add a smile to their faces?

This week's top dog was found by Campbell Patch enjoying a late summer lunch with his human just outside . Apparently quite the attention-getter, Patch was only the latest in a long line of admirers. Check him out:

Name: Charlie, also known as "Sir Charles"

Breed: Pug

Age: 18 months

Owner: Kristin

Hometown: Originally from Oklahoma, Charlie now resides in San Jose.

Talent: The diminutive Charlie likes to wrangle the collar off his much larger housemate, a Saint Bernard. If he can't slip off the collar, Charlie is known to drag his ever-patient pal around the house.

Charlie's favorite things to do in Campbell:

"He loves to come downtown," owner Kristin said. "When we pull off the freeway to get here, he sits up and gets all excited."

Charlie is a frequent Aqui's patron and enjoys strolling Campbell's dog-friendly streets. If his mom his making a trip into town, Charlie must tag along.

"When my mom suggested getting lunch today, I said, 'We have to go home and get Charlie.'"

I am impressed with CalTrans ability to do the cleanup, but the problem of homelessness does not goRead More away. Until we find a way to help these people in need, the camps will just move to another location, and everything will start all over again. The homeless need help - whether they want it or not. It's time to get that ball rolling.

Who is Tony Faber? Here is some history from a family member. My name is Karen Hunt and myRead More grandfather is and was Albert Jacob Faber. He owned and ran that bike shop up until his death in 1975. Subsequent to grandpa's death the house/building became the property of my grandmother, Lucille Faber. Upon her death, the property went to my mother, Jackie Faber-Cornick. In 1978, the business, not the building was sold to Alex Lariviere and he has conducted business since. The building was never sold and belongs to my mom, Jackie Cornick. It was her great-grandparents home back in the 1920's. We are shocked and saddened by this tremendous loss. At this time, we are trying to decide the fate of that beloved building. We are currently awaiting forensics tests, engineering and structural reports, and working with the City to keep it safe and prevent it from being vandalized and becoming a blight. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about the history of Faber's Cyclery. My grandfather was a man of character and integrity. Sadly, neither of his two sons became involved in the business. With that said, anybody claiming to be a Faber or son of Albert Jacob, is just misrepresenting the truth. Thank you for sharing your story and memories! Very truly yours, Karen Hunt Great grandaughter of the owner of the Original Fabers Cyclery.
