Shunning their reputation for harsh critiques and exacting high standards , the judges on a Belgium talent show have been won over - by a singing dog . The Belgium 's Got Talent judging panel appeared delighted when a man revealed not his own talents , but that of his singing pet dog Lady Xena , on the TV show recently . Accompanied by a backing track of ' I Will Always Love You ' by Whitney Houston , Lady Xena was broadcast crying in accompaniment to the signing . The pet dog named Lady Xena howls in accompaniment to Houston 's singing during the live audition . Lady Xena 's owner sits beside her as she cries along to the love ballad before a huge TV audience . It was during the song 's crescendo that she received the biggest applause from the crowd and judges - letting off a loud and high pitched howl as the song concluded . Throughout the performance , two judges could be seen bursting into laughter while two more watched on in mild bemusement . In particular , Karen Damen , a singer and member of girl group K3 , could be seen clutching her sides at the utterly bizarre audition . However , the audience applauded the pet 's performance with enthusiasm - so much so that she has become a sensation in her home country . Her owners , Mick Depreytere , 32 , and Daphnee Naessens , 28 , from Ostend in Belgium 's north-west , explained to HLN that they bought Xena when she was 12 weeks old . It was when they took her to a cafe which was playing the Whitney Houston song that they discovered her talent . 'When Xena heard the sound of the song , she began to cry . It was really weird , ' Mr Depreytere said . Judge Karen Damen was seen in hysterics at the utterly bizarre performance . Niels Destadsbader also appeared to enjoy the performance , which lasted about two minutes . Lady Xena 's owners later explained they had no idea their pet could sing until the song was played while they were sat a cafe .
