text: Forget sit and lie down. This skillful pooch has mastered the art of paw-stand walking. Loren Mathieson filmed her pet Boston Terrier, Gizmo, performing the gravity-defying stunt one day at home after he tried on a set of new booties. Footage shows him taking a few steps forwards before planting down his front feet and launching his back legs vertically in the air. He then proceeds to walk forwards, performing some graceful sidesteps as he goes. Mathieson can be heard laughing while she watches Gizmo in action. When he reaches her on the floor, he eventually steps back down to four paws. Mathieson said Gizmo performed the trick because he was unsure how to walk in his new black boots. To date the video of his circus-like trick has been watched more than 80,000 times. Like Mathieson, many viewers were left with smiles planted on their faces.
