There is something so satisfying about taking on a new hobby or skill. Whether it’s learning a new language or picking up the crochet needle and knitting something useful, tackling a new hobby can be infinitely entertaining. And it would appear that humans aren’t the only ones who feel this way!
Dogs, in fact, can be incredibly gifted when it comes to taking on a new hobby with gusto. In this amazingly adorable video, we see a beautiful bulldog named Chowder taking to the streets with a skateboard for the first time. From the captions, we can tell that the year is 2018 — over four years ago. Initially, Chowder is quite tentative with his new board. Although it’s obvious that he’s super excited about his new toy, he can’t quite seem to figure out how to use it properly. In the next clip from 2022, however, it becomes abundantly clear that Chowder is now an expert at skateboarding. Wearing a stylish sweater, he starts from the top of his driveway and cruises down the street at lightning speed. Leaning into the turn like he’s Tony Hawk, Chowder proves that he was a natural all along.
