Walk down the boardwalk in Pacific Beach and you might notice a corroded plaque mounted near the office door of the Crystal Pier Hotel & Cottages.
The plaque remembers Sinjin, the pier dog.
On the ground beside the door, water and dog treats are offered In Memory Of Sinjin, Bonita, and Mr. Blue.
Sinjin

LOYAL COMPANION, KNOWN BY MANY, FRIEND TO ALL, FAITHFUL PIER DOG, A TRUE BEST FRIEND YOU ARE FAMILY AND WILL BE MISSED AND LOVED ALWAYS.

Was he owned by the owners and thus raised there, or a stray that hung around?

I know nothing about him. I merely saw the plaque. I asked nobody and found nothing on the internet.

He was owned privately and Crystal Pier was his happy place! As a guest, we loved chatting with him, then Bonita andBlue…always brought treats with permission!
