How BurlY. outlaw killer,
TUNED his back on the
call Of the wild

HE Colorado rancher couldn't
believe his eyes. There. out on
u the bleak prairie. raced pack of
coyotes - with shepherd dog in the
lead. commanding them!
But later he could believe his eyes,
when he saw the mangled corpses of
sheep. fowls and even cows which the
marauding band had killed.
The story spread fast. The dog and
his prairie-wolf companions, thugs
though they were, stimulated folks
imagination. The packs exploits were
publicized clear across the country.
The papers named the leader - he
became Burly.
The ranchers whose stock he killed
were the only ones who couldn't see
anything romantic about Burly. They
hunted him with rifles - and the
newspapers gleefully reported escape
after escape. Twice. posses of 200 men
led by 20 hounds hunted the pack.
with no success.
On February 26. 1941. a hunter
spied Burly and his pack and chased
them across the prairie in an automo-
bile. Burly led his band to a gully
and they scuttled down it to safety.
But the dog himself got entangled in
loop of barbed wire hanging from a
fence - and was trapped. The hunter
ran up to him. threw a coat over
Burly's head and captured him.
Bedlam broke out then. The public
wanted him spared. The ranchers de-
manded his death. He'll never be
good for anything - he'll always go
back to killingr' they claimed angrily.
G. E. Faubel of Laporte. Colo,
didn't think so. An animal trainer by
trade, Faubel interceded for Burly.
LET me take him." he said. Il
think can make him useful"
The argument was long. but Faubel
won it. He loaded Burly in his huge
old sedan - and dropped out of sight.
Until last December. :.
Early in the month Faubel turned
up in Pueblo. Colo, giving shows for
under privileged grade-school chill
dren in industrial and slum districts.

W0LF-D0C MAKES GOOD

He had with him handsome dog that
looked like German shepherd. The
animal was amazingly intelligent. He
seemed able to sense shades of mean
ing in single word.
1t was BHly.
Less than year after Faubel had
taken him from his captors. Burly had
become valuable citizen.
"Burly can put over the lesson of
bad company in a way children can
really understand" Faubel says.
II tell them that Burly is exactly
the same dog that not long ago was
an outlaw. leading a pack of killers.
Only now he's in good company. They
look at Burly and they understand.
Better than if l had delivered long
lecture
He KAevs Pleaty
4ET's see what Burly has learned:
First of all, at Faubel's command
he puts his head back and utters the
wolf howl. That is one of the eeriest
of all animal cries.
Then he shows what civilization
has done for him - he barks joyously.
like any normal dog. II had to teach
BurIy to bark" Faubel says. He
didn't know how"
But that "act" is only small sam
pie of Burly's long and difficult reper-
toire of tricks - each one of which
never fails to entrance the kids.
1T wasn't easy to train him."
Faubel says. ''Burly was really wild
half-wOlf.
First had to train him not to kill.
put him in a pen with wire screen
between him and goat and kid. He
nearly tore the wire down in his lust
to kill. But now turn him in with
that kid for hours. The kid will play
with him and butt him, but Burly
wouldn't harm him for anything.
ut all took patience and under
standing" Faubel concludes. "And
I'm just beginning" He rubbed
Burly's head affectionately and the
dog licked his hand.
Burly's still sticking close to home
territory. But every star does that
and his fame is spreading. Tomorrow
is another day. Who knows. Holly
wood isn't so far from Colorado.
