Cassidy, a former fisherman said that he developed his soccer skill as a way to take his mind off of the death of a friend and as a way to lose weight.

In a 2012 interview, Von Muller said there is no magic to his incredible dog training results, that it simply comes down to finding the right dog and putting in the hours.

Jumpy can skate down ramps and even does jumps on the skateboard. It’s impressive and we’ve got video of it on our blog.

Wacky But True: 

Chica is a happy border collie that lives on the Knox Farm, in Clay County.

Chica’s favorite pastime is playing fetch with her owners Martha and Buddy Knox.

It’s a sight to see, but it’s a site Chica can’t see.

Chica has no eyes.

Her eyes were surgically removed when she was a mere pup.

So, how does a dog with no eyes see a moving ball, and bring it back to the feet of Martha?

This is something Martha wonders as well, and so do the experts at Purdue University.

Whatever it is, here is a hound that lives its life in the dark, but seemingly sees everything.
