A pug, chasing pigeons, crashes into a circus poster, and then becomes hysterical with fear when he comes face to face with a pig just emerging from a puddle. The little dog quickly runs away to his yard. A circus elephant strolls through the city streets, flanked by jugglers, clowns, and musicians. Every window in the house is open, curious people are hanging on the fences, and even dogs have crawled out of every crevice to get a look at the elephant. A small dog barks at him, but he passes by, ignoring her barking. The other dogs reprimand her, to which the small dog replies that she wants to be known as strong and brave, since she attacks the elephant without a fight, but with a lot of noise.
