Text from newspaper caption: Dawg’onit, locked out again! But that doesn’t mean a thing to King, police trained German shepherd at the Hollywood Dog Training School, 12350 Riverside Drive. Allez-oop! Hope they left dog biscuit where I can get at it, says King, as he leaps. Nice going, King. This is what is known as “walkin’ the log” up the side of a building. Well, that window is a little higher than I thought, but I’ll make it, he growls. Ah, that’s better. Al I’ve got to do now is pull myself through if I don’t slip. Heave-ho, whatta life. I knew I could do it because I’ve done it often. In at last—and the entire action took the police dog less than thirty seconds. Times Miracle Eye photo by McCrory. (“Miracle Eye camera records dog climbing twelve feet up side of his training quarters,” Los Angeles Times, 13 Jan. 1936: 18)
