A labrador has been waterskiing on the River Murray at Morgan with his Aussie family for four years. He has mastered the art of balancing on a board while being towed by a speedboat. The six-year-old dog has shown off his skills in a video posted on Youtube in which a family member can be seen sitting behind the board with Dexter the labrador and once the board picks up speed, the dog is all on his own. 

Kimberley Dunn, Dexter's owner told an international media outlet that the six-year-old dog loves waterskiing so much that he barks if he doesn't get to a turn first. She says that the family usually takes the boat out over Christmas. She further adds that Dexter has a special boat and gets a boost in a deepwater start and wears a lifejacket. In the video, the dog is seen comfortably standing on the board in his red lifejacket.

Woman teaches a dog how to talk 

A Catahoula and Blue Heeler mix dog has been learning how to talk from her owner and has already learned 29 different words. Stella, the 18-month-old has been reportedly training with her owner, Christina Hunger and learning how to talk with the help of a soundboard. The California resident started using the technology when the dog was just eight weeks old and has been keeping track of her pet's progress on Instagram and her blog, 'Hunger for Words'.

Hunger in an Instagram post said, “Stella adapts her message when she isn’t feeling understood, just like we all do! If someone doesn’t understand us or we don’t get the response we were expecting, we change the words we’re using to explain ourselves better.”
