Skateboarding dog

There are several skateboarding dogs whose exploits have been featured upon TV, websites and other media.

Such dogs have been featured on television, such as in the MTV show, "Rob and Big". One skateboarding dog, named Tyson, appeared in this show and has since been featured on many websites as the pioneer of skateboarding dogs. Another bulldog, Tillman, has appeared upon Greatest American Dog and is nicknamed Pot Roast. Another dog, Extreme Pete, can do the half pipe and ride a skateboard down stairs. Hsiao Pai (Whitey) skates in Taipei Park in Taiwan.

Some dogs are trained to ride skateboards; others apparently figure it out independently. A children's book was published on this subject in 2006: Little Yellow Dog Says Look At Me. In this fictional story, the dog skateboards for attention.
