It was good the way he got the dog to move his mouth in time to his voice.

But it was a fake mouth so of course it was good as the bloke was controlling it anyway.

Ywp, it was so obvious, Maybe not to the audience as they may have been too far away to see but it didnt work in TV .

I didn't think it was good or funny. Neither is this guy the the amateur he was made out to be. A quick look at this: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_M%C3%A9tral and you will see all the work he makes this poor dog do under hot lights with her mouth closed up.
No wonder the poor dog, once set free, at the end of the act, left the stage and her owner's side as fast as she possibly could and then was no where to be seen.
If this is funny, and entertaining, please stop and reconsider the dog - or does she just not matter, because it gave you a giggle?
Sad and pathetic.....

It was really entertaining, which at the end of the day is what this show is about.

It was entertaining for a couple of minutes and it was a little different but did it really deserve a standing ovation?

I can't believe there are people who think he trained the dog to move its mouth. It was a prosthetic mouth. You could tell the dog was scared by the way it was shaking.

Easier to piece together and more entertaining than the 100 odd piece choir.

I love the fact we have a variety based talent show in this day and age but hate hate hate the manipulative editing and constant dishonesty that runs through the show.
Wendy, the dog that could "Meow" and "sung" that Simon was apparently shocked by as he had "never seen anything like it before"?
Well I assume he is made aware of the acts that appear on America's Got Talent so should know about dog ventriloquism already and from this YouTube clip should easily be able to see how it is done.

To go slightly off topic, the other thing that frustrates me is the way genuinely talented people who happen to have an act that isn't cool or relevant right now are treated by the show. There was a small clip last night where we, the audience, got to see about 4 seconds of a duo playing 2 electronic keyboards. It was immediately dismissed by the judges and the show itself as terrible so passed by quickly to get to "talent" such as the stripping dinner ladies.
What is that saying to our young people? That you may as well not bother developing your talent if it doesn't fit certain criteria (The criteria being either you have to be at sub X-Factor standard if you're a singer or if your act is anything else you have to be the right side of camp to impress David, be over a certain age and willing to drop your pants to impress Simon, be a cute dog or seem as classy as a 100 piece choir so that ITV can show that it's not all chavs who enter the contest).

I was surprised that it was Simon who loved it and David who was sort of doing the "it's not really talking, get real" routine, I would have thought it would have been the other way around! I liked it though

Think Simon just loved him so he could hire the guy to his son's kid's birthday bash and show him dog tricks

I know what you mean. In one of the early series', there was a guy called Austin Blackburn who played the saw as an instrument. He had genuine musical talent, but didn't get through to the live semi-finals.

Totally agree and this man should be thrown off the show. If true any cruelty to his dog then he should be prosecuted by the RSPCA.

oohh not clicking that link..don't wanna see what they did..i thought it was cruel

That dog is really well trained to be able to just sit there and not bark once, whilst having some device covering its mouth.

Would be funny if they were on the live semi finals and either the device broke, or the dog had a sudden case of stage fright and starting barking rendering the whole act null and void.

To hear Simon say "i don't know how you made that dog talk" is one of the most embarrassing things I've seen recently. Either Simon is seriously thick, or he knows just how thick the public are and would genuinely believe the dog was talking.

Sadly I fear the latter is more accurate.

Well I just can't believe that the man and his dog got a Leona Lewis "A Moment Like This" background song.

I wish you pudding brains who make out any animal act is 'cruel' would shut up and let us all enjoy good quality entertainment. It's not 'cruel' at all. No crueler than teaching a dog to sit or roll over.

Because that's all it is.

Teaching a dog a trick.
