A muffled growl in the midst of terrifying danger behind the Iron Curtain has led to a promising theatrical career for a handsome German shepherd dog who went through his paces last week in The Ithaca Journal offices. The dog is four-year-old Rex, currently being billed unofficially as "Rex, the Wonder Dog of Hungary." Many persons hereabouts have seen Rex and his master, Joseph Bihari of Corning, on Elmira, Syracuse and Binghamton television stations, More recently Rex was seen baffling a group of panelists or snatching a gun from the hand of Henry Morgan on the CBS-TV show, "I've Got a Secret." Other major television appearances are in the offing for Rex, according to Charles Haupin of 117 W.

Even his master, once he has given Rex the command, cannot take a guarded item away from Rex, unless he rescinds the command. In addition to his ability to disarm and guard enemies and do other polite work, Rex can also climb trees. And, while its main benefit is to provide a chuckle, Rex is even learning to take a cigaret From a pack and puff it. The talented dog has already made a number of personal appearances, having played five performances in one day to 5,000 children at an Ingersoll-Rand Christmas party in Painted Post, and others at Eldridge Park in Elmira, in a Syracuse hotel and on a tour through the South with no one less than Superman, himself, on the same bill. Rex left behind him In Hungary a son, who succeeded to the title.

In addition, 19 other fine German shepherds remained in Hungary in the kennel which Bihari had maintained. A barber, Bihari was also a breeder and trainer of German shepherds. But when the Hungarian Revolution broke loose in December 1956, the opportunity to escape the Russian boot came with it. Rex was chosen to accompany his master, Mrs. Bihari, and their 4-yearold son, Joseph Jr.

That fateful muffled growl was no accident. The truth is that Rex had been schooled to growl in just that manner whenever danger approached. Rex's mission was reconnaissance for a group of some 25 Hungarians who were fleeing toward the Austrian border from Mesh second largest city in Hungary. 1 All around the freedom-seeking Hungarians were mounted Russian Rex headed up the party, sometimes on the loose and sometimes on a long leash. Whenever he picked up the scent of the enemy he signalled the warning.

Time and again, the muffled growl sent the party diving to cover in the underbrush. Finally the group made it to the now-famous bridge at Andau on the Austrian border. The crossing was made at night with Rex in the lead. Once on the Austrian side of the border, the refugees lighted their flashlights only to draw gun-fire from the Communists thcy had outwitted. Shortly afterward, two men approached Mari and urged him to bring Rex back into Hungary to lead another party to safety.

But their poor Hungarian speech and their manner did not ring true. Bihari, suspecting them of being Communist agents, turned down the opportunity for Rex to become a dubious hero. Although it had been considered dangerous to bring a dog on such a venture, Bihari learned that groups of reftigees on either side of them had been discovered, cap. tured and shot.

Rex was unable to get passage until six months later. On his visit to The Journal, Rex was very much at ease and very happy to shake hands with everyone from the editor on down when he was not carrying out some command. But even in carrying out some guardian command, Rex remained pleasant while being unmistakeably firm.
