French bulldog shows off skateboarding skills
Dmitry says it keeps the dog interested and prevents her from hurting her paws
(Reuters) - Sonya, a 5-year-old French bulldog, is a real skater girl, who likes to "shred" in a local skate park in a Russian Ural city of Chelyabinsk with her owner, Dmitry.
Dmitry, who refuses to give his last name, says his dog started showing interest she was still a puppy, mounting a skateboard and moving around Dmitry’s apartment.
Sonya enjoyed it so much that Dmitry started taking her to parks, and even got her a skateboard of her own.
Dmitry says he did not specifically train Sonya, but her skill on the board came naturally.
Overtraining can be an issue for dogs, so Dmitry and Sonya visit the skate park only once or twice a week.
Dmitry says it keeps the dog interested and prevents her from hurting her paws.
