The 36th World Dog Show takes place tomorrow! The world’s most beautiful dogs are gathered, groomed and perfumed, waiting patiently in their cages. In the evening, their masters head off to their restaurants and hotels, leaving the pooches under the watchful eye of a common mutt, Piumino. He can’t take part in the competition: he’s not a pedigree dog. The dogs soon ask him to let them out for a while to stretch their paws. Piumino is quickly persuaded, and it’s off to a great clandestine party! The party lasts all night and beyond, as the dogs have better things to do than take part in the show, and eventually escape by boat. And who will win the medal?
