Norman the Scooter Dog


 When you put his four legs on two wheels, Norman the Scooter Dog is one of the fastest dogs on the planet.

On Friday, the 3-year-old French sheepdog made his attempt at setting the Guinness World Record to become the fastest dog on a scooter when he traveled 100 feet in just over 20 seconds at a charity event in Marietta, Ga.



 In preparation, the 70-pound dog and his owner, Karen Cobb, trained to cover 30 meters (approximately 98 feet) in 30 seconds. Norman surpassed that mark by two feet in nearly 10 fewer seconds, and the record will now have to be officially verified by Guinness.

This is only the latest exploit for Norman, whose official website says he was contacted by Guinness to be the first to set the "fastest 30m on scooter by a dog" record.
