Our beloved four-legged friends are known for doing all kinds of funny things. But these Bulldog brothers have taken things to a new level!
Walter and Milo are two ordinary English Bulldogs with extraordinary skill. They are skateboarding pros!
Yes, you’ve read that correctly. And no, there isn’t a catch. They have a hobby quite unlike other dogs!
An Older Brother
It all started many years ago with the family’s first Bulldog, George.
“He took to skateboarding right away,” his owner said to The Dodo, “He lived and breathed skateboarding.”
George was only six months old when he first stepped on the board! It all started accidentally, as his owners bought him a skateboard, hoping it would help him get rid of all that excess Bulldog energy.
Little did they know they had created a legend!
From the moment George stepped on the skateboard, it was clear he was destined to be a star. His skills have got everybody talking!
George’s other hobbies include snowboarding and surfing – He surely seems to have a preference when it comes to daily activities!
Walter’s Arrival
When the family took Walter in, they left it to George to teach him everything he knew.
And, while Walter was apprehensive about skateboarding at first, refusing to step on his board but following George around, he ended up being a natural. It didn’t take long before he was on the board, riding like the wind.
Considering how he comes from a famous dog family – his great-great-grandfather was Gabe, who famously rode a rocking horse on the David Letterman show, and his cousin is Solo, who appears in several TV series – his talent shouldn’t come as a surprise.
George and Walter quickly gained popularity online due to their skateboarding endeavors. They were even named Dogs Of The Year 2022 by The CW Network!
Sadly, George crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2022 after a quick but severe health problem.
Walter stayed with his older brother throughout his final days, letting him know he was loved and would be missed greatly.
Milo Joins The Family
Since Walter was lonely as the only dog in the family, they decided to give him a new companion. This is when they’ve brought Milo in.
Unlike Walter, Milo took a liking to the skateboard right away. He started riding on his own when he was no older than ten months!
It didn’t take long for the two brothers to start riding together. They even learned some skateboarding tricks, such as flipping their skateboards upside down and carrying them in their mouth.
“Even after watching them for all these years, I still can’t believe what I’m seeing. I look at their expressions, and I see so much passion. It’s kind of interesting because I don’t know how to skateboard myself. But they’re like pros,” their owner said.
These pups don’t even like going for walks. They only want to go into the SUV because they know it will take them to the nearest skate park.
Of course, some precautionary measures needed to be taken.
They only go skateboarding early in the morning when no one is around. The owner will also put bright orange cones around the park just to make sure no one is riding through.
This ensures that the pups stay safe during their favorite activity.
Inseparable Duo
Today, the duo is still riding hard.
Walter prefers going on longer rides and learning new tricks. He has also starred in his debut film, Powder Pup, in 2023.
On the other hand, Milo prefers speeding. He will run around holding his board in his mouth, and occasionally, he will stand on it, as well.
They are always learning new tricks, which are documented on their Instagram page, and they have gained more than 100k followers. Who knows what adventures lie ahead of them?
One thing is certain. They’ll tackle everything with a board beneath them!
Vanja’s passion for writing started at an early age, which is why she pursued Journalism as her college degree. She can research any topic and find all the information before you bat an eye, which is a great thing for her job but a terrible one for her husband.
Even as a young child, she fell in love with everything fluffy – but dogs have a special place in her heart due to her childhood companion, a Corgie named Archie.
Motivated by her experiences and driven by a desire to give back to her four-legged companions, she spends her free time volunteering at a local dog shelter.
