Britain’s Got Talent viewers in tears over Miracle the dog rescued from the meat trade

BRITAIN’S Got Talent viewers have been reduced to tears by a magic act involving a dog who escaped the meat trade.

Dog rescuer Amanda and her beloved dog Miracle had the judges and viewers at home in floods of tears with his story of being found barely alive in a cage destined to be killed and eaten.

In tonight’s audition shows Amanda told the story of how Miracle was thought dead when rescuers first saw him in a cage but when they took a picture and the flash went off one of his eyes opened up.

It was that that saved Miracle’s life and inspired Amanda to rescue 18 more dogs from the meat trade.

A magic trick then saw the judges correctly pick out four of 40 of Amanda’s dogs’ pictures – before Miracle opened a door to reveal all four picks had joined him at the audition.

With the audience in tears it was left to judge Amanda Holden to praise her namesake.

She said: “I thought that was such a great act. We’re all dog lovers on this panel and I just applaud you – for the act year but also for taking care of all of those lost souls.”

David Walliams added: “You’re an incredibly special lady to devote your life looking after these wonderful wonderful animals. We’re all over the moon to meet these wonderful dogs. I don’t have any idea how you did that with the cards so well done you. Fantastic.”

Alesha Dixon told her: “This is the moment I feel so proud to be on this show where we can use this to just raise awareness of something so important. So Amanda thank you so much and well done.”

And a struggling to hold back tears Simon Cowell told her: “The actual performance itself was fantastic, I have no idea how you did it.

“You made your point very very clearly and there were times I couldn’t actually watch it, I’m going to be honest with you. What happens in the dog meat trade should be stopped and it takes people like you to get the message across. “

Viewers were left in tears by the story and Amanda and Miracle getting four yeses.

One wrote: “Britain’s Got Talent has got me balling my eyes out, can’t test my emotions like that through lockdown with dogs man #BGT”

A second said: “Do you have a heart if you are not sobbing at Amanda and her dogs on #BGTBroken heartBroken heart #BritainsGotTalent”

Another added: “What she going to do now for the semis .. hope she can teach an old dog new tricks #bgt”
