I've just seen Wendy the talking Dog & her French owner.
So I thought I'd start a thread on how it's being done.
My thoughts:
What stuck out to me immediately was that the jaw/mouth isn't real, watching it back on
YouTube a short moment ago confirmed it, the jaw is extremely unnatural in how it opens, the tongue never moves and isn't coloured very well.
Next I tried to see how it was being operated, I don't think he's doing it at least not with his hands, I'm pretty sure there is somebody offstage, the dog starts offstage which is unusual in its own right, as it really doesn't serve anything to the act, so I'd imagine the second person is holding the dog.
Anybody else have any ideas? Please feel free to counter me but be constructive, don't just call me wrong without providing your own theory.
