This amazing dog lived for 14 years. He died a year and a half ago, but his legacy lives on.
David Hartwig has a special way with animals. That’s especially true with his dog, Skidboot.
I’ve never seen a dog like Skidboot. In the video, he seems to understand everything Hartwig says.
With his brains, Skidboot became a TV star. He appeared on Oprah and The Tonight Show, among others. Children all over the country have been delighted by Skidboot. The limelight never frightened him.
The video depicts a close relationship between master and dog. Hartwig and Skidboot show an extraordinary level of communication. This is just a great story.
Sadly, Skidboot passed away several months after this video was taken. Hartwig is training other animals. But they will have big shoes to fill.
So sad and glad to watch this amazing animal do things and no-one has commented about it. Wish there was more to watch.
