Our friend Jack....or Glengowan's Light My Fire...is a very special dog! He competes in many conformance shows with his owner and handler....Stephanie Longinotti. This year he has been doing great in almost all the shows he has attended. We are very priveledged to have such a talented friend.

Then just recently...Jack was asked to be a star in a movie!! But I will let his Mom tell you how it happened...

"A person from Animal Encounters, which is an animal talent agency, contacted the local Golden Retriever club in Texas, of which I am a member. They said they were looking for a light colored Golden Retriever who has had some obedience training and could do a few tricks.  I sent in several pictures of Jack and after a few weeks, I heard the good news that Jack was chosen for the movie. Jack and another Golden Retriever named Hawkeye will play the part of Hero, the dog in the movie. The movie will be filmed and produced by Fox Studios and will be filmed in Dallas sometime in late January. The movie is about a little boy and his dog Hero. It will be a Christmas movie that will come out next year. They are not sure if it will be for television or on the big screen. I guess it just depends on how it goes. Because of copyright rules, etc. I can't tell you much more about the movie right now.

Jack is working hard to learn lots of new tricks that he will have to do in the movie. The way it works is if one dog can do something..and the other one can't, then that dog will be in the scene and the other dog will do something else. Or for instance..if one dog is tired or just doesn't want to perform, the other dog will step in to do the scene. It is really going to be fun and I can't wait to see my boy on the big screen!"

Good luck to Jack in his movie!! We know he will do great!We can't wait to see him in the movie either!!
