There seemed to be no balance-based sport this stout Renaissance pup couldn't master. He snowboarded, he surfed, and, most famously, he skateboarded.

But on Tuesday, Tillman flipped his last board. At 10 years old, the English bulldog died of heart problems on the way to the veterinarian. His owner, Ron Davis, wrote in a Facebook post that Tillman was his best bud. "We shared so many memories skating, surfing, and hanging out together. No words can truly describe how much he'll be missed."
