Let me introduce to you ‘TreT-The Parkour Dog.’ This five-year old Staffordshire bull terrier from Ukraine can perform some amazing stunts that even some humans can’t do.
Parkour is an amazing sport that puts humans bodies to the test with death defying stunts that utilized the buildings and structures around them to get from point A to B. Now, when a dog is doing those exact same stunts, that is something truly amazing!
TreT is apparently one of two know dogs that can Parkour in the world. Evgeny Elchaninov is the pet’s trainer and he says he used to do Parkour himself until a bad injury. He started to train TreT when the six-month old dog jumped over a chain and onto a fridge one day. Take a look at the video and see some of the amazing stunts this dog performs.
