The 74-second material shows the father and daughter arriving at the gate of a house in a neighbourhood.

The homeowner greets them from her porch while a pit bull roams in the yard.

The dog notices the strangers and, perhaps excited or intimidated by their presence, runs out onto the street through a hole in the fence to meet them.

Once freely outside, the dog approaches the two.

The full-grown man jumps on top of the boot and then the roof of a parked car, leaving his daughter to her devices.
