There has never been a more beloved partnership of man and dog than
that of David Hartwig and Skidboot.

From rodeo performances to the heights of stardom on Oprah and The Tonight Show, Skidboot and David amazed and endeared themselves to millions.

Skidboot was the first ever champion on Pet Star. There can never be
another one like him. Nor can there ever be another David Hartwig.

Below these stills are links to Skidboot's videos on youtube.

"Touch it.."                     things she is seeing Skidboot do.
