Dogs audition for place in tribute choir for legendary lifesaver

Canine crooners have auditioned to take part in a special choir which will pay musical tribute to legendary dog hero Swansea Jack.

The black retriever became a local hero in the 1930s for rescuing drowning swimmers from Swansea's docks.

Once formed the canine choir will create and and perform a new song in celebration of the hero. 'A Song For Jack' will also be transcribed.

Judges auditioned dogs at the National Waterfront Museum, Swansea on Sunday.

The dogs which auditioned all start singing after hearing a piece of music or a direct command.

Grace Davies who helped to organise the auditions said they had seen some "cracking diva dogs".
