Ringling Cirus World 1974-75 #4



"Hugo" was the largest one I trained for the ring that year and as it turned out, the one with the most talent.
He had also been at the Dallas Park with Gary Hill, where they called him "Doc". I renamed him after the man I had replaced, the great Hugo Schmitt.
"Hugo" now also resides in the Portland Zoo. Posted by Picasa

Sad to say that Hugo died at the Portland zoo in 2004. Big lose for the staff, they really seemed to like him.

Is this the same Hugo that attacked Dan Pyle at Wild World in 1983? If so ,he outlived Dan by 12 years.
