I was just dozing off to sleep, he said when I heard some carnival music. It sounded very
happy and jolly so I opened my eyes to see where it was coming from, and across the creek

they were in the process of putting up. I asked if I could help them ‘cause I’m a helpful type of

the show because his dog Juniper who normally performed with his elephant, Sabre was not

feeling well. “Wow, sure I said – that would be an honour!”
