Dog in the Lion's Clothing
Esse Leão, Se Apertar, Late! 

Animal trainer Robert Baudy dresses dogs up as lions. The special lion masks worn by his dogs saved him the cost and the danger of working with real lions. Audiences seemed to like it as much as the real thing too! 1956

O treinador de animais Robert Baudy fantasia cachorros de leões. Essas máscaras poupavam-lhe o custo (e risco) de trabalhar com leões de verdade. A platéia parecia curtir esses "cacholões" tanto como se fossem leões de verdade.
