World’s coolest dog Leonard plays basketball, paints masterpieces and rides a horse!

Leonard Lee isn’t your average dog – he’s amazing!

He can ride a horse, paint pictures, balance books on his head, and even slam dunk a basketball. 🤩

He’s a super-talented 6-year-old border collie who lives in Virginia, USA, with his loving owner and trainer, Teresa Hanula.

Oh, and he is also a record breaker. 🥳

In December of 2023, he claimed the record for most basketball slam dunks in one minute by a dog with a total of 22.

Look at him go!

The iconic pooch followed that up the following December with the greatest distance by a dog balancing a book on the head in one minute – 17.30 m (56 ft 9 in).

Here is what Teresa, who works as a dog trainer, said about her beloved Leonard:

“[He] loves balls and loves fetching. Teaching him the slam-dunking of a basketball was self-rewarding for him.

“We started off wanting 1 record - that was great - and now that we have 2 it feels even better.

“Who knows what the future will hold for him.”

Do you think Leonard will go for another record title?! 👀

Here are some more interesting facts about Leonard’s incredible life:

• He is an amazing swimmer – he simply loves the water! 🌊
• He’s a talented dog artist and sells his paintings to help less fortunate dogs. 🎨
• He enjoys canine parkour, jumping and climbing around parks and city spaces. 🐕
• And of course, he loves learning all kinds of cool tricks to keep his brain busy. 🧠

But perhaps one of Leonard’s coolest jobs is… being a TV star! 🌟

He’s been on shows like America’s Got Talent and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Or, you might have even seen him in commercials for pet brands. 📺

In fact, fame runs in the family as Leonard’s grandpa, Shiloh, was a movie star in The Stray! 🎬

Leonard and Teresa are best pals: 

“From the very first day we met, Leonard and I have been best friends, and our bond keeps growing every day.”
