Pup a Wave

Hang ten, dude! Who says only humans can surf? Meet Makakilo, the surfing dog from Peru’s San Bartolo beach, who, with his owner and lifeguard Domingo Pianezzi, has become a local sensation and even won several surfing tournaments. They’re a team, Pianezzi says, and it takes coordination and trust to ride the waves without wiping out. But for him and Makakilo, it’s more than just a sport - they’re inseparable and share a bond like father and son, with Makakilo joining him on his rescue missions and everywhere else he goes. So grab your board and catch a wave, because surfing just got a whole lot more adorable
