King, police-trained dog, jumps into a 2nd floor window, Los Angeles, 1936

Description:
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.
