Dave told the Mirror said: “There isn’t a bigger stage than Britain’s Got Talent.
"Dogs like Finn are out there day and night doing incredible work.
“My day job is running through gardens at 3am chasing after car thieves, so you can imagine walking out in front of thousands of people in front of four of the most famous people in the land. It was surreal.
“I got tongue-tied when I saw Simon Cowell but Finn didn’t.
"Like when we were on the streets, Finn pulled us through. It’s a different world, but we smashed it.”
Dave said he and Finn, who now lives with him, have “an incredible bond” and “know each other inside and out”.
