Many dogs experience stomach problems or other health issues and much of this can be attributed to their diet. When you love your dog and feel like they’re one of the family, it can be very tempting to treat them too often or give them some of our own food.

Meet Tyson, one very cool dog indeed. Tyson is a British bulldog. He’s 5 years old now but still skateboarding. Yes, you read right, skateboarding.
This is a dog skateboarding his way around the world. He’s been in TV commercials, several films and even appeared on MTV and American Idol. Until he was one year old, his owners thought he hated skateboards – he would bark madly at the skateboarders. Then, on his first birthday, he started playing with one and his owners realised that he actually wanted to skate. Tyson is completely self-taught and is even sponsored by Bulldog Skateboards. Watch him in action!
