Britain's Got Talent viewers were left in tears over a heroic police dog who saved his owner's life by jumping in between him and a stabber.
German Shepherd Finn saved Dave Wardell’s life by leaping between the PC and a knifeman – and getting stabbed himself with a 10in blade.
The 10-year-old, subsequently awarded a Daily Mirror Animal Hero award, performed an incredible “mind -reading trick” with Dave, which left judges and the audience stunned.
During the act, a video featuring Finn’s story was shown, including pictures of the injuries he suffered and his amazing recovery.
Emotional Simon told Dave: “If I had a golden buzzer left I’d give it to you. When I hear about animal cruelty, especially dogs, it upsets me. A dog will literally give up its life for you. Finn’s beautiful, I love him.”
And viewers were left in floods of tears.
One tweeted: "Oh Jesus Finn #BGT."
While another commented: "Ok Finn I’m sobbing."
A third remarked: "I LOVE YOU FINN #BGT."
Another wrote: "Awwww it saved his life literally in tears sake as everyone in the studio!! #BGT #BritainsGotTalent."
One remarked: "Balling my eyes out I LOVE YOU FINN ❤️ #BGT."
*Britain's Got Talent airs next Saturday on ITV
