"The size of it is how much I love him and how much I miss him. I had him since he was born, he was with me almost 12 years." - Miguel Maruyama reflects on his deep bond with his service dog, Nacho, who he memorializes with an altar.
"We recently got notice from Caltrans that we are trespassing because we are on state property and they posted notice that the altar was going to be destroyed today, supposedly this morning." - Maruyama discusses the threats from Caltrans regarding his loved one's altar.
"I was really sad about that because this is part of our tradition. Mexicans celebrate the Day of the Dead which is only a couple days away from now." - Maruyama expresses his sorrow over the potential destruction of his altar just before a significant cultural event.
