Do you own a dog? If your pet is anything like mine, then they probably don't do much more than eat, sleep, and play fetch. This lazy dog doesn't even walk up the stairs on his own. Instead, he waits for his owner to give him a piggyback ride.
While some animals are very lazy, other pets are extremely active. Eric is a year-and-a-half-old French bulldog living in North London. His human parents, Claire and Joel, had only known him for a few short months when they discovered his passion. Eric loves to skateboard! For such a young pup, he's very talented. I can see him going pro one day!
Just watch the video below to see Eric's talent and enthusiasm for skateboarding. I've never seen a dog bark at a skateboard before!

Claire and Joel didn't teach Eric how to skateboard; it happened by chance. Claire was walking him in the park one day when he was about five months old.
"Suddenly there was a kid screaming and Eric had nicked his skateboard and was riding it along the path. That’s when we discovered he could skate," Claire told TheTab.
While Eric's talent came as a complete surprise, it's not totally out of nowhere. His dad Joel has been skating for 20 years.
"When he was a puppy, he came around with me and sat in a harness while I skated,” Joel told TheTab.
Eric is quickly rocketing to stardom on the internet because of his unusual hobby. The local channel 5 News had the pup on recently.
His parents want everyone to know that Eric enjoys skating and he isn't a circus trick.
They've also taken many precautions to make sure skateboarding is safe for him. "Eric can only turn right and hasn’t worked out how to go left yet, so we modified the trucks to fit his weight,” Claire told TheTab.
