Dude, That Dog is Riding a Skateboard

TAIPEI (Taiwan) — "Gnarly!"

"Rad!"

"Sick!"

In skateboard jargon, these are the three appropriate responses to utter when you witness something as unbelievable as this.

"Hsiao Pai" ["Whitey"], an eight-month-old dog, has learned how to skateboard—and quite well, I might add.  You might be able to catch her showing off some moves at Taipei Park on Kuanchien Road with her two-legged pal and skate instructor Chen Kuo-chen.

Chen, owner of a bicycle store in central Taipei, says that he taught Hsiao Pai how to skateboard because the little dog would always follow him around and get exhausted trying to keep up.


Now equipped with a board of her own, Hsiao Pai has no problem going wherever Chen goes, whether it's "bombing a hill," "gleaming the cube," or "choking the chicken."  Wait a minute... I think that's something else. (Photo: Reuters / Simon Kwong)

The little white pooch is of unknown breed, according to Chen who says she's mostly mutt.  Although she doesn't quite look like a retriever, a pointer or a spaniel, you can definitely say that she belongs in the "sporting group."
