The Film Star, Rudolph Valentino, owned a great Dane who was buried in the Los Angeles Pet Cemetery, supposedly Kabar is often seen or heard by visitors giving the occasional lick to an unsuspecting guest. It is also said Kabar has been spotted at Valentino’s old home.
Rudolph Valentino is said to haunt his former estate, Falcon’s Lair, as well as Hollywood Forever Cemetery as he died with unfinished business. He is interred in the Cathedral Mausoleum, crypt 1205, as he lost his wife to his movie obsession, filming ‘The Hooded Falcon’ when she left the stress may have left to the onset of his perforated ulcer. He died 23rd August, 1926 with Kabar by his side.
Kabar was heard to howl mournfully when his master’s spirit crossed over and finally they had to overpower the dog in order to get Valentino laid out in state.
