In the summer, a dog defecates on the side of a dirt road. The sentient pile of feces, Doggy Poo, is initially amazed by his new surroundings, but is soon rejected by a sparrow as disgusting. A nearby lump of soil ridicules Doggy Poo, who responds that the soil is ugly and mean. The soil apologizes and tells Doggy Poo of his past at a nearby farm where he grew
tail flowers and potatoes each summer. The preceding day, the farmer scooped the soil onto his cart to build a house, but the lump of soil accidentally dropped onto the side of the road, leaving him to await another cart to run him over and end his life. The soil then sorrowfully vents his guilt over the death of some
peppers in a
drought, during which he had wished for the peppers' death for taking his scant amount of water. However, Doggy Poo reassures him that the peppers' death could not be helped. As a cart approaches, the soil tells Doggy Poo that he must have been created for a reason. The cart turns out to be the one from which the soil was originally dropped, and the farmer returns him to the cart. Autumn comes, and although Doggy Poo is grateful for the soil's fortune, he is left lonely, uncertain of his purpose and fearful of the ambiance of nighttime. A leaf blows into Doggy Poo's vicinity and tells him that a leaf's fated detachment from its tree is a reflection of the inevitable and blameless nature of death, and that Doggy Poo is lucky to be able to stay in one spot whereas the leaf must go wherever the wind blows. The wind sends the leaf flying, leaving Doggy Poo to spend the winter alone and covered in snow. In the spring, Doggy Poo is approached by a mother hen, who proposes that Doggy Poo could be lunch for her chicks. Although Doggy Poo is willing to give himself up for this use, the hen ultimately decides that Doggy Poo is unsatisfactory as a meal and leaves. During a rainfall, a
dandelion sprout grows in front of Doggy Poo and tells him that she can become a beautiful flower if Doggy Poo gives his entire self to her as fertilizer. Overjoyed, Doggy Poo gives himself to the dandelion, whose
achenes scatter in the wind. ==English-language cast==
