This dog can teach you a thing or two about bodyboarding

A cute and amusing video has emerged of a dog using its paws to pull a bodyboard towards it at the side of a swimming pool before jumping on and surfing around.

The footage, filmed in Manasquan, New Jersey, US, shows Abby the dog showing signs of intelligence to bring the bodyboard towards her before having a go in the pool.

She doesn't once fall off the board.

The filmer later wrote online: "Abby is a very smart dog. We rescued her from a shelter. Surfers have nothing on this little girl!"
