'Got Talent' dog killed by tractor

A dog which found fame on Britain's Got Talent has been accidentally killed by its owner.

Geoff Davies and his border collie Blue were seen auditioning for the ITV1 talent show with their "snooker-playing dog" act earlier this year.

Blue, who was 11, passed away at Geoff's farm after being knocked down by his tractor. He has now been buried in a coffin designed by a carpenter friend of Geoff's.

Davies told The Sun: "Blue was up to his normal tricks, chasing a JCB I was driving. It was such a warm day he took cover under a tractor. I moved from the JCB to the tractor.

"I didn't know he was under the wheels. As soon as I realised what had happened I was horrified. It was too late to call the vet, so I sat with him while he drifted off."

He added: "Of all the things, I was the one who ran him over."
