Dog and Pony Show Dog and pony show was a colloquial term used to refer to small traveling circuses. The name derives from the typical use of performing dogs and ponies as the main attractions of the events. The term has come to mean any type of presentation or display that is somewhat pathetically contrived or overly intricate, or put on for purposes of gaining approval for a program, policy, etc. Source: Wikipedia
