A one paw to thumb. What a great trick and what a great little dog. Every now and then a trainer will fine that perfect animal to work with. I have been blessed time and again with good animals. I know that other animal trainers can say the same.

Eugene “Arkie” Scott stands in the center ring with the Ringling Bros Barnum Bailey elephants. “The Greatest Show on Earth” was the movie that Cecil B. Demille’s produced in 1952. Arkie was the superintendent of the elephants at the time of the making of this movie.

Bill Capell told me that there were a few towns that would not give a parade permit. We all know that it is important to get the word out, so the Capell’s would use the bus for their shopping or for what ever was needed….sometimes just a drive around town picking up a thing or two. The calliope inside the bus might just start playing if Bob Capell happened to be in at the keyboard.
Sometimes you got to do what you got to do.
