This is a shaggy dog story: Norman the hound likes to scooter round town
By Daily Mail ReporterLast updated at 3:47 PM on 9th March 2011
As shaggy dog stories go, the one about Norman the very bright Briard who is a wizz riding his scooter ranks high on the list.
The clever canine, who lives with the Cobb family in Canton, Georgia, competes in many obedience competitions and received his Companion Dog Title at just 15 months of age after four first place finishes.

Norman gets his foot up on the scooter and prepares himself for the off
'He began playing with the kid's scooter in the backyard and we thought it would be fun to give him a ride on it,' says Karen. 'Then we decided to teach him to push it, and now he loves riding his scooter.'
His scooting antics have already made him popular on the Internet, and his Facebook page has quite a following.
Let's get this show on the road: Norman puts his back into it
Off we go: Norman gets both feet on the platform and starts to build up a bit of speed
Briards originate from France and their recognised talents include search and rescue, police work, military work, herding, watchdogging and guarding, but they also also make excellent companions, finding favour with Napoleon and Thomas Jefferson.

Britain’s saddest puppy cheers up! Hairless Princess makes incredible recovery and is now in search of a home
By Daily Mail ReporterLast updated at 3:11 PM on 1st March 2011
She was branded Britain’s saddest puppy after she was abandoned by heartless owners and kicked out into the cold with a skin condition which left her close to death.
Rescue workers came close to giving up all hope for her recovery but Princess has now overcome the odds and has made a miraculous return to health.
Wagging her tail and bouncing through open fields, life is now a far cry from the days when she could only gaze longingly from a window.
'Saddest-looking dog we've ever seen': Princess, pictured in December, sits hairless in a cardboard box
Incredible recovery: She is now full of life, playing with Lucky, a ten-week-old Terrier cross
The forlorn puppy made international headlines after she was discovered suffering from a condition which made her skin so delicate that she could not go outside in any weather.
Even a warm jacket would irritate her beyond endurance.
At just six months old, she was pictured sitting in a cardboard box with a horrific case of mange which left her completely hairless.
Her heart-melting face laid bare the appalling levels of neglect and abuse she suffered at the hands of her owners.
Staff who took her in, at Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary, near Edenfield, Lancashire, feared the harsh winter weather would kill her and rescue workers said a course of drugs, costing a five-figure sum, was her only hope of survival.
But donations flooded in and now, only two months on, Princess has made a remarkable recovery.
She now looks the picture of health as she bounds about with other dogs, enjoying rough and tumble play with a shiny new coat.

Sanctuary staff are looking to re-home her with permanent owners.'She’s the saddest-looking dog we have ever seen,’ said manager Neil Martin.
‘Our staff are all in love with her but it’s only recently that she’s started learning how to enjoy a cuddle.
‘She didn’t even know how to play. We tried to get her to cheer up with some toys but she was scared of them.'
Princess, thought to be a bull terrier-greyhound cross, was found in Colne, Lancashire.
Her debilitating condition was caused by mites which burrowed into her hair follicles.
