Four ponies, a donkey and several dogs
did not save Thalero's Novelty Circus - from being a very ordinary animal act
—
until the finish. The finish started something.
The dogs rode the ponies, standing
and leaping on pads.
The finish was very striking, caught a
large wave of applause and pulled the act
out of a slough of despond.
