Clyde Beatty…. The Aviator ?

| January 10, 2012

This is a rare photo of Clyde. I do not know if Clyde was a pilot or maybe the  passenger. I would not be surprised if this was his plane and he was an aviator. He was the kind of man who wanted to do it all. Photo taken in 1930.

This is a rare photo. Joe Horwath and Joe Louis, the heavy weight champion. Both toured with Daily Bros Circus, in 1949. I believe Ben Davenport was the owner of the show at that time. Thanks Jenn for your comment.

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.
