Skidboot the Dog – His Friendship and Legacy Live On!

Do you know a special dog or pet?  Skidboot the Dog, who lived on a ranch in  Quinlan, Texas, was one the smartest dogs you will ever see!  But Skidboot was a lot more than just smart.  He was also a great partner to his owner, David Hartwig.  Their support of each other is a great example of friendship and loyalty in action.

Skidboot did not just stop at changing his owner’s life, but he brought great joy to many children and people around the country.  And now Skidboot’s own children are doing the same thing!
