Hint:This question is from “animal farm” novel.
After Mr. Jones, the owner of Manor Farm, falls asleep in a drunken stupor, at the request of old Major, a 12-year-old pig, all his animals meet in the large barn. Major provides a rousing political dialogue on the evils of their human keepers inflicted on them and their need to revolt against the tyranny of Man.

Complete answer:
Old Major had a dream that he wished to interact with the other animals. So, as soon as Mr. Jones (the farmer) was out of the way, all the animals entered the barn. The three dogs were the first of those animals to turn up:- Bluebell, Jessie, and Pincher.
Then the pigs settled in front of the platform, where the old Major had already been seated. The hens perched on the window sills, while the sheep and cows lay behind the pigs. The pigeons flew up to the rafters. Then, the two cart-horses, Boxer and Clover, went in together. Next came the white goat, Muriel, and the donkey, Benjamin (the oldest animal on the farm). The ducklings, the pretty white mare (Mollie), and a cat were the last animals to reach the barn. It was only then that his speech started with the Old Major.

Note:Animal Farm is a satire on equality by George Orwell, where all barnyard animals live free from the tyranny of their human masters. Animals on Mr. Jones' Manor Farm, motivated to revolt by Major, an old boar, embrace animalism and stage a revolution to establish an idealistic state of justice and development. Napoleon, a power-hungry pig, becomes an authoritarian tyrant who leads the animal farm through the tyranny of "All Animals Are Equal / But Some Are More Equal Than Others".
