Larry, a popular fixture in the neighborhood, was known for his sunny disposition and his love of basking in the sun. According to witnesses, Larry was enjoying the warm weather on the balcony of his owner’s apartment when he slipped and plummeted to the ground below. The impact was fatal, leaving the community heartbroken. “Larry was more than just an iguana,” said Maria Rodriguez, a neighbor. “He was a beloved member of the neighborhood. He would greet us with his tail twitching and would often sunbathe on our own balconies.” Larry’s owner, David Garcia, is devastated by the loss. He described Larry as his “furry little buddy” and said he could never imagine life without him. “He brought so much joy to our lives,” Garcia said. “He was always there to welcome me home from work and loved to snuggle on the couch. I can’t believe he’s gone.” Community members have taken to social media to express their condolences and share fond memories of Larry. Many have posted heartfelt tributes, photos, and videos of the beloved iguana. “Rest in peace, Larry,” wrote one resident. “You will be missed dearly.” Animal welfare organizations are urging pet owners to take precautions to prevent similar tragedies from occurring. They recommend using pet harnesses or leashes when walking reptiles outside and ensuring that balconies and windows are secure. As Miami grieves the loss of Larry, the community is coming together to honor his memory. A small memorial service is being planned in the park where Larry used to bask in the sun. “Larry may be gone,” said Rodriguez, “but his spirit will live on in the hearts of all of us who loved him.”
