I laughed watching this! The plain dog with the cans tied to its tail undoubtedly by bad boys as was once common, the misspelled words on the wall, the bare knuckle pugilist who learned a lesson for wanting a fighting dog,... All in all a nice little bit of vaudeville. I couldn't help thinking our animal shelters would love to have such a convenient storage system. This wasn't about the stop action but about the comedy. Even in 1904 people weren't dim enough to think the dogs were actually made and remade. They'd seen magicians and vaudeville skits. They probably thought the dogs were shoved in or removed from the back of the box during the skit. This is a slice of life, both human and canine.

This movie needs a disclaimer "No animals were harmed during the making of this film".... I hope!

Subject: Good Experimental Film For It's Time
This is the classic film that many amature 8mm and super8mm fans have done over the years ... the most common version is the magician - film something, stop filming, change or remove item, start filming again.
