Rescue dog learns how to ice skate, fetch hockey sticks
This isn't a desert mirage — Benny the yellow lab from Las Vegas really does ice skate and fetch hockey sticks.
The 5-year-old dog was rescued from a Las Vegas shelter right before he was to be euthanized. His new family realized that he learned things quickly, and they had custom ice skates made for Benny's front paws so he could practice skating. He picked it up almost immediately, and now he goes around the rink with an American flag on his vest and a stick in his mouth.
