MAVERICK DOG
ELUDES CATCHERS
FOR FOUR YEARS
NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif.,
W — Meet Maverik, a doughty
doberman pinscher whose defiance
of authority, contempt for con
formity and rejection of security
have made him a hero in the
world of man.
Maverik raised himself from a
pup and for four years stayed
several jumps ahead of the dog
catchers. They couldn’t outsmart
him, so they finally overpowered
him last week after slowing him
■up with a tranquilizing charge
fired from a gun.
The city’s dogcathers, who
hung the name Maverik on him,
told of the four years they spent
trying to catch the big, black
stray.
They chased him by car and on
foot, but never came close.
They baited traps with meat
in which capsules of tranquilizing
drugs were concealed. Maverick
ate the meat and spat out the
drugs.
They finally realized the kind
of adversary they were up against
when they put a female boxer in
a cage with a one-way door. Mav
erick ripped off the back of the
cage, and took the lady dog into
the hills with him.
At the same time he was out
witting the dogcatdhers, Maver
ick was rebuffing all efforts by
friendly residents . to domesti
cate him. He accepted the food,
raided their garbage pails, but
took to his heels when they spoke
of settling down.
The captured Maverick was
under death sentence at the city
pound unless someone adopted
him. Then newspaper readers
learned of his exploits and
flooded the city with 1,000 re
quests for the animal.
So they auctioned him off last
Thursday. Mrs. Harry Crown of
nearby Van Nuys plunked down
$130 for the dog.
“I feel that a dog who sup
ported himself for four years de
serves a good home,” said Mrs.
Crown, as she led Maverick to
her sleek red convertible.
Then Maverick rode in triumph
to Ms. Cown’s 2V£-ace estate.
The U. S. Navy is building a
modern air-sea base at Rota,
Spain, only 40 miles from Palos,
the tiny port from which Colum
bus sailed in 1492 to discover the
New, World.
