Original Toronto Star caption: Scared to death by what he does; but working with big cats is boyhood dream come true for Wade Burck; 22. He's here with Shriner's Circus at Maple Leaf Gardens for the weekend; in centre ring with 12 tigers and a lion. You can never tame these big cats; he says. They'll turn at a moment's notice and you're a goner. But his close-up smile at Bengal tiger here belies his fears.
