LAKE BUTLER, Fla. (AP) — Jay North, who starred as the towheaded mischief maker on“Dennis the Menace” for four seasons starting in 1959, has died. He was 73.

North died Sunday at his home in Lake Butler, Florida, and had colon cancer, said Laurie Jacobson, a longtime friend, and Bonnie Vent, who was his booking agent.

He called us frequently and ended every conversation with ‘I love you with all my heart,’” Jacobson wrote in a tribute on Facebook.MEXICO CITY (AP) — Behaving at their best, a dozen dogs attended Mass at Mexico City’s cathedral Friday, waiting for their turn to be doused with holy water.

But all pray to God and their four-legged friends’ patron to keep them healthy and safe.

Someone abandoned her as a newborn outside her home on Dec. 12, when millions of Mexican Catholics celebrate“We found her next to her mom and little brothers inside a box,” Flores said. “We rescued them and gave up most of them for adoption, but we kept her and her mom.”
