Busby the dog prepares for live show

Tuesday, 2 March 2010 14:17

Pet lovers and viewers of ITV's The Alan Titchmarsh Show are in for a treat tonight (March 2nd) as Busby the musical dog makes a live appearance with his owner.

Busby's no stranger to live TV or ITV, having already auditioned for Britain's Got Talent, where he and owner, Claudette Evans failed to make it through, despite audience support.

The six-year-old terrier will have a minute-long slot on the show and perform tricks including collecting the mail but binning all the junk mail and bringing his owner a bottle of wine to a song written by Ms Evans called Dog in a Million, reports the Bournemouth Echo.

Speaking to the paper Ms Evans said: "It is live. I am very scared but it makes no difference to him. He loves it."

Ms Evans and Busby train with the Friendly Dog Club at Barton-on-Sea.

As well as the odd TV show appearance, Busby has been making a name for himself performing at charity events and nursing homes.

You can tune in to ITV1 at 17:00 GMT to see Busby on today's edition of The Alan Titchmarsh Show.

Animal Friends Insurance, one of the largest independent pet insurers in the UK offer dog insurance, cat insurance and horse insurance to UK residents.
