Wakeboarding dog makes waterskiing squirrels look so 2012

2/7/2013

Jack Russell terriers are, by definition, cute and charming, but how many can match the talents of Duma, the wakeboarding, speedboat-driving dog? The 7-year-old pup's owner, Cliff Bode, said Duma learned to drive a boat while cruising the Chicago River. She got so much attention that Bode looked for other tricks for her to master — and found inspiration in a certain viral waterskiing squirrel. Now Duma is making a splash at boat shows, balancing on a board and traveling up to 20 mph. "We don't glue her feet down or anything," Bode notes. "She's just got a good grip." Awww, and a sweet face, too.
