Virginia was found by Moncho -the Black dog living in our neighborhood's pet shop- lying in the side of the road, a days-old kitten that had been badly beaten. Like in most places in the world, Black cats are considered evil in Mexico. Moncho took her in his mouth, licked her wounds and brought her home to the pet shop. The next day I visited the shop and Moncho -who was my friend- brought his little protege to me. I fell in love immediately. Virginia has lived with me since then and she has brought me no evil luck at all, just the joy of her presence.
