Not long ago, Benny the Skating Dog was a shelter animal on the list to be euthanized.
Now he’s a real Wayne Grrrrrretsky (sorry).
But Benny’s life has taken a fortuitous turn, a doggie who can perform 50 tricks — especially skating. With a stick, and a puck.
The 6-year-old (an estimate) yellow Labrador retriever is the star of videos and photos arranged by his owner, Cheryl DelSangro. A former professional skater, DelSangro is originally from Cleveland and taught skating for 20 years before moving to Las Vegas with her husband, Flory, to operate Boulevard Bar & Grill on Las Vegas Boulevard South, across from South Point.
