Skateboarding dog's owner fined

THE owner of a skateboarding dog has been fined for not keeping his adventurous pooch on a lead.

Jonathan Fell was also threatened with legal action if he fails to keep Lakeland terrier Bodhi under control.
Bodhi is a much-loved sight in Brighton, East Sussex, where he performs his skateboarding tricks.
But two women recently complained after tripping over his board — prompting council officials to issue the fine.

Landscape gardener Jonathan, 51, said: "Bodhi is always under control. He loves skateboarding and is not a criminal. It's something that makes people laugh. "I never trained him to skateboard, it's just what he loves to do."
A council spokesman said: "We know Bodhi's antics are an amusing sight and the dog and spectators appear to enjoy it.
"But when people start getting hurt and we receive complaints we have a legal duty to act."
Jonathan was fined £80.
