Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated February 28, 1963 partially reads, "One of the Valley's last "hound-dog men" has reached the end of the trail. "Bud" Blake, 19542 Runnymede St., Reseda, is one of a small band who train and revere the "man-hunting" hound. For the past nine years, Blake has kept eight of the hounds on his fenced acre lot, using them periodically to track down escaped criminals and find children gone astray in the mountains. Now Blake stands, like one of his hounds, at bay before the authority of the Los Angeles Department of Animal Regulation, and an irate neighbor whose cats don't mix with the dogs." "Bud" Blake pictured with his man-hunting hound.
