The pup will also have to cope with the sound effects and stage lighting. Ms. Hayes-Cowley told BBC, "Dogs are like children and can be unpredictable... so, we will test the water to see how they cope with the different sounds."
Ms. Hayes-Cowley does specify that the main thing is to see the dog with Dorothy as she sings.
