Extreme K9s 101!

Today's extreme K9 is Dick!

"Don't tell Dick the American Eskimo dog he can't learn new tricks. He'll flip--- literally! It took three years and countless boxes of dog treats, but now Dick turns more than five backward summersaults in a row. "When Dick was a puppy, he was very jumpy and always tried to reach high places," says owner Denis Ignatov. He began playing Frisbee with the dog, tossing the disc so that Dick had to jump and lean backward at the same time to catch it. Once Dick mastered that, the trainer used his hands to flip Dick all the way over. Soon the dog got so good that Ignatov stopped helping. But Dick didn't stop helping himself to the dog treats!"

Extreme K9s 101!

Today's extreme K9 is Freddie!

"Gloucestershire, England, U.K.

"Giddyap!" That's the message Freddie the Jack R

ussell Te

rrier seems to be giving Daisy the Shetland pony. The pair's favorite game is when the dog leaps onto the pony's back and goes for a ride. Their friendship started when Freddie spotted

Daisy about to give a child a ride. Frantic to be included, the dog tore across the yard and leaped straight up. "He settled down right where the saddle would go," says the dog's owner, Patricia Swinley. "Daisy didn't seem to mind." From then on, the flop-eared equestrian rode Daisy two or three times

a day. Says Swinley: "Freddie would do anything to be part of the party."

Extreme K9s 101!

Wuffy with Mao Mao

Today's extreme K9 is Wuffy!

"Wuffy the dog is always on the lookout for cats. But she doesn't chase or bark at them. She rescues them.

Eleven years ago, owner Gary Rohde was shocked when Wuffy popped out of some bushes with a eat kitten in her mouth. Then she brought out three more! Back home, Wuffy cared for them like a mother cat, licking their faces. "They were drenched with dog spit," Rohde says. Thanks to Wuffy, the kittens survived.

Since then, Wuffy has rescued more than 200 cats. She's even on call with a local rescue group, which send her troubled cats that need attention, such as Mao Mao. He hissed and skit so much that rescuers worried no one would want to adopt him. Wuffy shared her sleeping space with Mao Mao, cuddled with him, and taught him to trust new friends. Now the cat has a home of his own.

Why does Wuffy favor felines? That mystery hasn't been solved. "I didn't teach her how to do it," Rohde says. "Even her veterinarian is stumped."
