If you've ever thought your dog had the talent to at least make it into The X Factor boot camp, then that dream could just be about to become a reality. After a lengthy audition process, a lucky group of canines are about to make a bid to bid to sing their way into the nation's hearts. So if you've always believed Fido was a potential Frank Sinatra, read on for some tips on how to realise his full potential...
A new canine choir will record and perform a novelty record called 'A Song for Jack', a tribute to legendary dog Swansea Jack, who received national fame after saving drowning swimmers off the Swansea docks in the 1940's. Dogs were auditioned earlier in the year by a group of experts at the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea in a rigorous selection process that is set to see a choir finalised shortly.
The project is the realisation of a dream for Cardiff-based artist Richard Higlett, who plans to record the song in September before performing it at concert in October. The story of Swansea Jack is inspirational to residents in the city, where a monument acknowledges the black retriever's courageous efforts in saving 27 people from drowning over a period of seven years. Christmas number one? It might well be worth a bet!
