No ordinary mongrel, Tyson-the-skateboarding-bulldog is a self professed “skater who just happens to be a dog”. This is no gimmick, on his website you can watch videos of the dog who “lives to skate” and he’s actually quite good.

You’ll be wowed by this marvellous connection between bulldog and board from an animal with a clearly superior intellect. According to the site, Tyson-the-skateboarding-bulldog not only knows how to sit, lie down and shake but can also stand up, dance, jump and high-five.

Bad news, though, if you want to train your own skateboarding-pet-dog. Tyson’s masters maintain that Tyson taught himself and they can’t offer tips except to say “frequent rest and water breaks are a must”. That’s not much use.
