Man learns casino losses not deductible
SUTTON COLDFIELD, England, April 4 (UPI) -- Organizers of a new talent show called "Britain's Most Talented Pet" say they have found a dog that can mow the lawn and play the piano.
"The Ultimate Pet Show" competition organizers said Hope the German shepherd can place his front paws on a lawn mower's handle and push the machine along like a human operator, The Daily Telegraph reported Friday.
The 4-year-old dog reportedly is a canine wiz when it comes to pianos, as well, a skill that helped Hope win April 2008's National Pet Month honors.
The dog, which resides in the British town of Sutton Coldfield, may qualify for the first-ever "Talented Pet" competition.
The May 2 show will feature 12 finalists, the Telegraph said.
