This doesn't really strike me as a demo reel, but it is a work-in-progress. You might want to look around and check out some other demo reels for referance, but a few things to include on the next go around: for starters add your contact information somewhere on the screen. State that you are a character animator in there as well.

Regarding your animation you might want to take the reflection off the bench. Some of the animation is too abrupt. That is my main critque. Pace the animation out, give more time to some of your gestures, and definitly have that little dog thing move a little slower. (first viewing I thought it was a fuzzy chicken)
Its a good idea, you just need to refine it more. Good luck with it, and I hope that I was helpful.
