He lived with Mam and Dad Jones and their children, Catrin aged eleven, Tom aged 10 and Emma who was nearly seven and a half. The Jones family weren't exactly an ordinary family - they had all been on the stage and loved performing. Eventually Billy has a great opportunity to match his fellow family members when an advertisement appears in the paper 'Dog actor wanted for Christmas pantomime'. Preparing for the audition sparks great enthusiasm and Billy simply enjoys acting. The audition arrives and the dogs are ready.

But extremely serious Humphrey got the part. Disappointed Billy returns home and he saves Mrs Bartley nextdoor from having a very nasty accident. Now he's a star, a real star, and his story is featured on the radio, television and in the newspapers. And that's how Billy became famous.
