It’s a boarder collie! Skateboarding DOGS show off their skills at competitions in Thailand
- Dogs competed on skateboards at Pet Expo Thailand in Bangkok yesterday
- Lizards with backpacks and headphones were also paraded around the event
For most people, seeing a dog gracefully riding around on a skateboard is a rare sight.
But for those attending the four-day dog skateboarding competition in Thailand’s capital Bangkok, seeing dogs show off their skills in a makeshift skate park is just becoming the norm.
In fact, it looks even less bizarre when they’re joined by lizards parading around with headphones and backpacks, squirrels in dresses, and dogs in prams.
Hilarious photos yesterday captured some of the best shots of dogs flying down ramps on skateboards at this year’s Pet Expo Thailand competition.
Dogs participating in the event, which was held at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok, were judged on form and agility and divided into beginner and advanced dog categories.
Mui took first place in the novice category, while Suradej was crowned champion of the experienced category.
