Kinda gets you right there in the ol' ticker. [sniff]

Very cute, but is about 3 minutes too sappy at the end.

Also, see http://www.current.tv/studio/media/924077 (different video).

They should try to cross this dog with a smart "bitch" and make even smarter puppies. We could all use smarter dogs.

Well, it just goes to show you that some animals are smarter than 'necks.

It is quite sad... He made enough money to clone him!

If he clone him, the dog would most likely be different in terms of characters.

i love skidboot!! and i'm not usually a fan of dogs!

If I could get my dog to come when I call...

My dog thinks she's a two year old human, that counts for something, right?

awwwww shucks about Skidboot getting old. Whenever you feel sappy about an animal, you need some dark animal humor: http://static.flickr.com/72/281086187_41cb1f0ff9_o.jpg

LOL DC, I might have to start doing that in my neighborhood.

I think that particular joke is phase locked with my brain waves. It cracks me up everytime I see that picture.

Me too now!

Thanks a lot DC. . . after that sappy story (at the end anyway), that pic made me have the church giggles.

sheesh you people kill and eat animals every day without thinking about it, and then you go all mushy for a dog that can get a ball.

So what's your point Mink? We're higher up than animals, we can choose which ones we eat and which ones we don't. Tucking into a bacon sandwich doesn't mean you can't be pally with cats and dogs.

well said deano. my dog and 2 cats are a big part of my life. i also can't imagine never having a cheeseburger again.

Great story, really heartwarming.

But I must say, the dog's performance isn't that surprising. I think a good trainer could do this with many dogs of intelligent breeds. My dog can show this level of focus and attention to detail when performing tricks.

This is seriously sweet! *catsanddogs
