Organizers: Dog can play piano, mow lawn

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.
