What happens

Society Dogs è un cortometraggio muto del 1921 diretto da Fred C. Fishback. Il film si apre con il cane protagonista, Brownie, che sogna di indossare uno smoking e partecipare a un banchetto raffinato. La realtà è però ben diversa: Brownie è l'assistente di un vetraio itinerante che lo usa per rompere le vetrine dei negozi (legandogli un sasso alla coda), in modo da procurarsi lavoro per le riparazioni.
