OK, mebbe 'they all' was a big call, we've all seen Poodles and Chiauhas (or however ya spell it)
Anyway, Skidboot was quite obviously an extraordinary dog who brought joy and smiles to many faces.
The bit where his owner says " I have a driver's licence and can get Skidboot to where he has to be, apart from that he could do it all by himself" and the bit where he says " anyone with children will know how I feel about him, I love this dog" in my opinion sum up just exactly why Skidboot stood out from the crowd.....that an' bein' the right colour.

(doubt he was pure bred, but there was more than just a dollop of Aussie Blue Cattle Dog blood running through those veins)
I would be willing to bet that if asked,that cowboy bloke (sorry cant recall his name) would deny ever having been Skidboot's master and would instead say he was his buddy, partner, workmate etc.
In my experience thats the key differance between a good dog and a really good dog, how the dog itself percieves it's place within it's pack (owner and family)
