Amazing Aussie animals!

These talented critters master tricks far more impressive than stop, drop and roll…

Talented pooch Dice, a two-year-old Australian shepherd, is one super surfer! Her sporty owner Travis Nottle, 31, of Port Lincoln in SA, used to take her out on his kayak and often noticed her putting her head underwater. A surfer himself, he thought he’d see if Dice was interested in catching a wave or two.

“I made a game of it and little by little Dice would stand on the board and I’d give her praise,” Travis explains.

“Now she just loves it! Each time I put the board on the car, she can’t stop wagging her tail because she knows she’s in for some fun.”

Read more about Dice and other amazing animals in this week’s issue of Woman’s Day, on sale Monday, August 19, 2013.
