I ve got a tiger on my tail: Clasped in the paws of a Bengal tiger

I ve got a tiger on my tail: Clasped in the paws of a Bengal tiger, John Dawley goes through the daily routine of picking up a wage. Not for John that nine-to-five drudgery chained to an office desk - instead its a daily dice with danger that could always go horrifyingly wrong. Each day, before a disbelieving audience, the fearless 27-year-old takes on " Kipplin, " the three-year-old tiger, in a show staged at the Enchanted Village in Orange County, California. After terrifying tussles like these, John escapes by jumping into a swimming pool. Always there is the fear that one day " Kipplin, " might play it for real - hes already come too close for comfort. So next time you go to work, spare a thought for John...earning his stripes the hard way. Pouncing: Fearless John ducks as " Kipplin, " the three-old tiger, unleashes himself at his victim in another round of combat. July 1977 P000733
