Deciding to turn her paw to something new  this summer, trainee search dog Hattie appeared in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as a tearaway dog in the Toot Sweet scene.

Hattie joined the cast of The Bournemouth and Boscombe Light Opera Company  in their spectacular summer holiday production at the Bournemouth Pavilion. She appeared in 9 performances with a  pack of dogs who  dashed across the stage  alarming  Lord Scrumptious and the sweet factory workers.

Along with her best mate Fred the Pug and three other stage dogs their performance was noted in the Dorset Echo review “the appearance of real dogs was the icing on the cake for the younger members of the audience. ”

Hattie has continued  with her  search dog training.  Dorset Echo Review
