Title supplied by cataloger. Photographer's caption reads, "This is Barstow Bob, animal groomer at Circus Vargas. Bob is a genuine world class person who "Loves my animals as much, maybe more than I do people..." He always has time to kiss "Lovable Fritz" the camel, though he cautions he is the only one that should attempt this since he has been with the circus for 4 years and knows the animals well. He begs to be photographed with his favorite animal, "Leo", an Appaloosa stallion, and "Always, but always have time to answer questions" from circus patrons." Photograph dated February 15, 1984.
