    Absolutely outstanding - the fantastic story of Swansea Jack brought to life - well presented, scripted, shot, edited with a pleasant, appropriate well composed underscore of music - Very professional and broadcast quality.

    As an international student studying in swansea university, it’s a really beautiful tale of a legendary retriever that once lived in this very city. Feeling proud to study in Swansea🦢🌿

    As a Swansea native I feel Jack’s story has been retold here very engagingly, he truly was a special dog.

    ‘Swansea Jack’
    a poem by Derek Davies.
    Of all the stories I’ve been told
    the one that captures me most,
    Is the story of a local dog
    rescuing lives there on our coast.
    One loving pet
    a Newfoundland dog
    his coat lay shining black,
    a retriever with a special name,
    and that name was Swansea Jack.
    That dog became a hero
    helping people that were to drown,
    twenty seven souls he saved
    from the waters of old Swansea town.
    Brave and fearless, strong and bold
    this dog was one to treasure,
    famous throughout our city
    saving lives there at his leisure.
    This story is one of local pride
    those people know him best,
    Champion of the city
    now laid down to rest.
    His stone lays near the footpath
    on the seafront of our past,
    this legend lives with me forever
    and forever may it last.
    The dog that saved so many lives
    his coat lay shining black,
    forever in our memories
    forever Swansea Jack.

    There are instances of the term Swansea Jack being used before the dog. Suspected to be from Jack Tar... a sailor. But, nice presentation.

    Muito triste a maldade humana de ter assasinado um cão heroi entre outros
