"Canton, Georgia
Forget walking. When Norman wants to get around, he's a got a much snazzier form of transportation. The pooch has been riding his family's scooter since he was a puppy. "One day we put him on the scoot and wheeled him around for fun," owner Karen Cobb says. "He didn't want to get off."
Cobb and he kids trained Norman to ride the scooter much like a human would ride one. Propping his front paws on the handlebars, the dog stands on the scooter's board with one back paw and propels himself forward with the other.
Norman rolls around the neighborhood with Cobb by his side making sure he's safe. "The second we take out the scooter, his tail starts wagging," she says. But Norman soon may be ready for some new wheels: He's learning to ride a bike!"
