French bowldog, am I right?

"On a day of general perturbation, I bring you a French bulldog, skateboarding in Clissold Park." Children's book critic Imogen Russell Williams went to the park, and in the skate bowl, a dog was skateboarding. So she took a 45 second SLTwitter video of it. Despite the fact that it hasn't learnt any tricks yet.

Impressive! But keep the camera rolling long enough and eventually you're going to see that dog eat shit.

25 seconds in, that dog is clearly attempting a kickflip.

Well, especially if there's a cat litter box nearby.

My parents have sent me the link to this twice each now, independent of one other, over the last 24 hours. I have no trouble being genuinely delighted by it every time, though. What a good dog.

This dog is no Didga, but, to be fair, is hampered by the lack of a magic skateboard.
