'Please Mr Postman' hits number one with one particular girl in town.

A hidden talent was discovered in Halfway this week after a piece of music brought out the voice within.

Joan Phillips, 55, from Halfway was in her back garden when she discovered the new talent in the form of her three-year-old pet Labrador, Maisy.

“I was in the garden when I heard Maisy barking so I presumed something was wrong” said the librarian who lives on station road.

“I had left my radio playing in the kitchen and found that Maisy had taken particular liking to a song by The Carpenters.”

Maisy was barking along to the much-loved song ‘please mr postman’ by the 1970s soft rock duo.

Mrs Phillips had no recollection before this of Maisy’s talents with songs. Since the outburst though Maisy has been a queit girl.

Mrs Phillips said:

“I went and bought The Carpenters CD after this and Maisy stayed very quiet until the postman song came on, then she was barking her heart out again”.

Since the discovery maisy has been dsplaying her talents to numerous amount of neighbours and it has brought a nice piece of entertainment to the local area.

“I might have her go for Britain’s Got Talent next year” Mrs Phillips said of Maisy.

Keith Smith is a local dog trainer who wanted to lend his advice after hearing about the remarkable talents Maisy had to offer:

“Dogs often respond differently to a number of ques. It is strange however that in this case, Maisy only responds to the one song. Maybe she has a thing for postmen”
