Demo dog Rio teaches panto actor his doggy ways
Posted 8 years ago in the Meet the four-legged team category
Our demo dog Rio has had a paw-some time helping a pantomime actor play the character of a poodle in The Watson Player's version of Beauty and the Beast.
The narrator was a talking French poodle called Felix so used Rio to get to grips with the movements and gestures of a dog, as well as tips on how to look the part!
Advanced trainer at the Midlands Centre and Rio’s demo handler Cat Howourth was also in the sell-out Derby Guildhall theatre show as the local blacksmith Cappuccine.
Canine Partners were grateful to be able to have a free advert in amateur dramatic group’s programme urging people to become volunteer puppy parents.
