Meredith and Snoozer, with two cats and a woman, were probably next in order for honors, but Meredith clamped all possibilities of a hit with a piece of ''business" that should have never happened. The dog, a beautiful English bull, works great, but at times faltered in his cues and once Meredith deliberately slapped .the animal, bringing a muffled cry of surprise from the audience. It looked as though he- had lost bis temper, but whether or not, he lost his audience and from then on the act brought nothing in the way of returns. At best it's a small time act.
