Marc Métral and his “talking” dog, Wendy, delivered one of the most side-splitting auditions in Britain’s Got Talent history, leaving both the judges and audience in absolute stitches. The 61-year-old Frenchman traveled across the English Channel with his trusty canine companion, and together, they had a jaw-dropping surprise in store.
At first, things seemed to be off to a rocky start—Wendy simply sat there in silence as Métral attempted to engage her in conversation. But then, in a moment that no one saw coming, the adorable pup opened her mouth and started responding to him! The comedic banter that followed was pure gold, with Wendy hilariously defying expectations—answering in Spanish instead of English, pulling off some classic stubborn-dog antics, and keeping the audience on the edge of their seats with every unexpected twist.
The laughs just kept rolling as Métral tried bribing Wendy with treats, only for her to take things up a notch by suddenly meowing like a cat! Judges Simon Cowell and David Walliams were absolutely beside themselves, pulling priceless reactions as they struggled to contain their laughter. Meanwhile, audience members could be seen wiping away tears of joy as they watched the comedic duo in action.
Métral and Wendy’s unforgettable routine went down in Britain’s Got Talent history, racking up an eye-watering 81 million views on YouTube—making it the show’s 13th most-watched performance ever. Fans flooded the internet with praise, declaring the duo worthy of the golden buzzer and even hailing them as the best act in the show’s history. Their semi-final performance was just as much of a smash hit, drawing in another staggering 31 million views.
For those wondering how it all worked—yes, Métral was the mastermind behind both voices, using a ventriloquist-style act to bring Wendy’s “words” to life. But make no mistake—Wendy is a real dog, and her stage presence was nothing short of spectacular. The sheer dedication Métral put into the performance, combined with Wendy’s adorable antics, made for an act unlike anything Britain’s Got Talent had ever seen.
Though they didn’t make it to the finals, bowing out in the semi-finals, Métral and Wendy’s legacy on the show is undeniable. And let’s be honest—this dynamic duo left behind one of the most memorable moments in BGT history!
