The discussion of whether Remo wanted to run off with Otis and the Rooster was
interrupted by a trumpet call from the arena where a competition was beginning.

Otis and the Rooster joined the audience in the stands. What they saw was a
small stage blocked by a curtain at each end. A dog would enter the screened
area at the left, enter the stage and perform a trick, and then exit on the

Some of the dogs wore costumes, and others were in their natural state. The
tricks were of a conventional nature and involved rolling over and playing
dead, or balancing food on the nose and walking on the hind legs.

Each trick was greeted with polite applause, especially by the owners of the
dogs in question and their immediate friends. But the performances were so
ordinary that they did not arouse much enthusiasm.
