On the night of her murder, Nicole Brown Simpson's dog alerted the neighborhood to something being wrong, by barking. A couple of people who were out after dark finally joined the dog and followed him back to the location of two dead bodies.
The dog's name was Kato, named after Nicole and O.J.'s friend who was staying in the guest-house on their property, at their invitation. The children named him.
Once a few years ago when I was reading on the Internet about the case, I became concerned about what happened to the dog, an Akita. (I had never heard of that dog breed, before the murder story was reported, in 1994.)
The Brown family (Nicole's parents) took in the dog. He lived a long life, passing away in 2004. The Browns keep the dog's ashes under the piano, because that is where Kato (the dog, not the house guest) liked to curl up and rest, and observe the family's activities.
