Being an actor can be a dog’s life. But dogs can actually be good actors, as anyone who has seen the Lassie films will testify. And we saw eight hopeful hounds attend ‘paw’-ditions at The Brindley.
Bone(a)-‘Fido’ four legged thespians Toby, Harris Tweed and Ness got the ‘mutt’ sought after roles in a ‘pup idol’ style event.
Dazzling costumes, fabulous scenery and some truly magical surprises are just a few of the things successful hounds can expect.
Experts were looking for three prize pooches to play the part of Belle best friend, on different nights at The #Brindleypanto.
Denise Shenton is Ness and Harris Tweed’s owner and lives in Runcorn. She said she couldn’t wait for her four-legged-friends to tread the boards.
“To have both our dogs appearing is fantastic. They follow in famous paw-steps such as Lassie and Toto!”
Toby is from from Northwich.
