This makes me uncomfortable in a way I can't articulate.

This is a rare example of two incredibly awesome things that combine to be even more awesome. It's like the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup of YouTube videos.

They will do any God-damned fool thing we tell them to, won't they. I love dogs so much.

My brother's dog, Sadie (obligatory when-she-was-a-puppy picture), does tricks like this. Only she tends to do them into walls. And windows. Bringing down curtains, pictures, and venetian blinds. I want a youtube video of those kind of tricks.

My dog was like this - everything interested him and he had to CONQUER ALL THINGS by climbing to the limits of his ability and then peeing a bit. He was of a breed well-known for their escape artist tendencies, so I was sort of expecting it, but it is another thing entirely to see a 35kg dog clear an 8 foot fence like it ain't no thang.

The human version of parkour is exactly this impressive.

Pendulum, you're right--same crazy Ukrainian dog in the first video linked in that earlier post. Sorry I missed that; does this double dog deserve deletion?

No, he deserves treats and so many belly rubs

Pits are fearless and will do anything to please their owner. Anything. You can flick them on the rear with two fingers for doing something bad and they will cower like they've been beaten, but if you tackle them and smack them around in play they will love it. They're an amazing breed for the right owner (as in, have lots and lots of time and energy and a way to expend their own energy). I love this video for that reason.
This dog's ears look like shit though.

On the interstice nobody knows you're a dog.

And here I spent years training my dog not to climb on the furniture.

So, like, awesome? But now good luck convincing him to stay in the damned yard.

The other day my dog, sleeping on the armrest of the sofa, yawned and stretched in her sleep and fell off onto the floor.
I just felt like I had to relate that after watching the video.

That dog is the most badass dog ever. Other dogs should just give up.

It's a good thing this isn't a seeing eye dog. "Oh shit! Over the fence again?"

juv3nal: rock climbing dog
Pfft, he's no Norwegian Lundehund.
Also, this is another example of really well trained pets.

I thought it was going to be a video making fun of parkour, but that dog is pretty cool.

My pit gets around in a similar fashion, although he somehow always ends his run by leaping in my lap.

The first time I read that I thought it said pig. I had a very cute and amusing picture in my head for a few moments. Bull terriers of all kinds are cool but now I really want to see a pig doing those shenanigans.

Hey, I trained my snake to do this parkour stuff too! I'll upload the four hour video if anyone is interested!

My dog is now pissed at me for not teaching her to run up trees like that. If she could, those damned squirrels would totally stop taunting her.
