Norman, a local Atlanta celebrity, and star of Animal Planets Who Let the Dogs Out? entered the Guinness World Record books this morning by breaking the record for longest canine scooter ride! The lovable French Sheepdog was tasked to ride his self-propelled scooter 30 meters in less than 30 seconds to break the current record (who knew there was a current record?). Norman’s person, Karen Cobb told WSB that Norman has always wanted to do all the things he sees kids do! Norman also rides his bicycle (he still has training wheels) in his free time when not appearing on various TV shows.
The event was a fund-raiser for Road Trip Home a charity that relocates dogs from high-kill shelters to no-kill shelters.
I asked my dog Banjo what he thought of Norman. Here is his response.
You may now return to your regularly scheduled program already in progress.
That was awesome! Loved it!! Thanks for a little levity during of week of such seriousness!
Aww……I don’t know who’s cuter……..Banjo or Norman! Woof! Woof!
Yay!! A picture of banjo!!!
Awww. Cute. Congrats to Norman! My boy Bruno loves to watch and run along side the skate boarders in the neighborhood. Just the other night a few of them and I were saying that we have to get him one. Watch out Norman! Woof woof! *Your Dog is adorable Tamara.*
Banjo is highly irritated by the entire idea. There is nothing he hates more than skateboarders and bicycles and CHILDREN. Though UPS trucks are a close second. Banjo is not a fan of wheels.
Ody and Molly feel the same about UPS trucks. Fed-Ex, mail trucks, people parked on the street by the house, basically anyone who is in their yard that is not my husband or I. Banjo is Awesome!
I especially loved the ending where he coasts over the finish line.
Nothing cuter than a big ole fuzzy cuddly dog (or a small cuddly one) or just a nice faithful dog period.
Precious Norman………….i have never seen (or heard of) a French Sheepdog. Banjo is just jealous. Next thing, he’ll start accusing Norm of using steroids!
That is the cutest thing I have seen in a while. I just love smart doggies.
Banjo says to tell you he is much smarter than Norman, and is person is much better trained than that overbearing person Norman has.
