The Skidboot Legacy Lives On -- in Threes

If you have never heard about or seen Skidboot in action, he is an amazing ambassador for the canine world. Here's a cliff note version of his story...



Skidboot died in March of 2007... Now David Hartwig is showing off his trio of Skidboot proteges... and they are a crew to behold. More.

It took some convincing to get Hartwig back out showing off his dogs. His awe of Skidboot is clearly present. But the three youngsters who are carrying on the mantle are certainly more than worthy of that role.

When you read the article you see the hidden message as well. The show wasn't supposed to end with Skidboot... He was just the perfect one to kick it off. And when he got tired and had to move on... he made sure he had a relief crew waiting in the wings.

We are fortunate to have someone like David Hartwig who more than anything else was simply tuned in and paying attention to the everyday wonders in life.
