Some dogs can't live without their favorite ball or a beloved plushie. However, a bulldog named Chowder isn't bonded to a regular toy—instead, he is mad about his skateboard. In fact, his pet parents saw him so attached to this object that they decided to get him his own custom board, which resulted in Chowder becoming obsessed with skating. Thanks to this, the pooch now delights the internet with videos of him rolling around the neighborhood.

Chowder discovered skating in 2018, when he was two years old and his human, Jami, placed an old skateboard in front of him. “The first time I laid it down, he was on his stomach, and he just started rolling across the driveway,” the pup's mom tells The Dodo, remembering how the bulldog propelled himself across the driveway with the help of his tiny legs. “He really didn’t want help. He was trying to learn. He was super focused!”

For all the fun Chowder was having, his humans noticed that the board wasn't big enough for him, so they decided to get one made just for him. Since then, Chowder and his skateboard have been inseparable. The pup even begs his humans for more time skating and won't let the board go when it's time for bed. “He isn’t your average pup–he was born with a need for speed and a dream to shred the gnarliest hills,” reads his website.

Now, Chowder has taken his intrepidness to the next level, as he is also a proficient snowboarder. The pooch has been into sport since 2022, with his humans taking him to safe slopes for him to practice without the risk of getting hurt. Once the weather clears, the bulldog is back on his beloved skateboard, rolling around his favorite parks and parking lots.
