A dog owner claims her extraordinary cocker spaniel could be the first in the world to have mastered playing hopscotch. Owner Emily Anderson captured incredible footage showing three-year-old Leo completing an entire hopscotch grid - hopping and landing on two feet with impressive co-ordination.
The 31-year-old dog trainer has already taught clever Leo to paint with a brush, play tennis and even perform CPR, but claims his latest feat even caught her by surprise and is his 'hardest trick yet'. Ahead of summer, Emily grabbed some foam hopscotch numbers from a discount store and laid them out in their training room, before gradually adding numbers each week as Leo hop, skip and jumped along the outdoor children's game.
Emily says she has not seen any other dog master hopscotch the way Leo has - as while some footage shows another dog trying it, the dog is only moving on cue rather than playing it himself and does not do the full 10 steps of a traditional hopscotch board.
