Ozzy the Border Collie and Kelpie mix isn’t your average 4-year-old dog. When you see what he does on this tightrope, your mind will be blown!
Trust us. Ozzy made the 2014 Guinness Book of World Records for crossing an 11.4-foot tightrope in 18.22 seconds at the Faith Animal Rescue Center in Norfolk, England.
Ozzy, whose full name is Osbert Humperdinck Pumpernickle, is from Norwich, England and has earned the title of “Fastest Crossing of a Tightrope by a Dog.”
It sounds like this pup would fit comfortably with the famous “Olate Dogs” dancing group!
Ozzy’s human, Nick Johnson, has no formal training but he has been able to coach the agile dog to victory. Ozzy can swing on a chain, run along a narrow ledge, and balance on Johnson’s shoulders.
“It makes me feel so happy and proud that Ozzy and I have such a strong friendship and relationship we can work together on tricks and games that get the recognition of Guinness World Records,” Johnson told The Telegraph.
However, Johnson is careful to make sure that this is really what Ozzy wants.
“Ozzy is most happy when he’s working on the tricks that we do and regards it as a game. We also only practice when Ozzy is in the mood, after he’s done all his important dog stuff, like sniffing around and meeting other dogs,” he said.
Amazing! See Ozzy’s special talent and SHARE if you think this dog is a star.
This dog's got skillz!Most humans couldn't do this…
