The dog that has to yawn to order. An audition took place in Broad Court, off Drury Lane, London to find a placid, bored mongrel dog, able to yawn on cue. The dog was required for the part of Crab in the rock musical "Two Gentlemen of Verona", which opened at the Phoenix Theatre, London on 26th April 1973. The dog would be playing opposite entertainer Benny Lee. The dog finally chosen was a six year old mongrel called "Ponting", owned by Mrs Daphne MacDonald of Chelsea. She had picked him up as a stray. 27 March 1973
