Pappy the Poodle: NBC Chicago Wows with Hind Leg Waltz
A fluffy white poodle made waves at the NBC Tower in Chicago on Tuesday morning, but not in the way you might expect. Pappy the Poodle strutted his stuff into the building, not on all fours, but on his hind legs, showcasing his impressive talent for the world to see.
Social Media Sensation
Pappy the Poodle gained fame last year when a video of him gracefully walking across Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago on his hind legs went viral on Instagram. The adorable pup captured the hearts of many, showcasing his unique skill and charming personality.
Guinness World Record Attempt
This Tuesday, Pappy, a 3-year-old poodle, along with his trainer Alex Rothacker from Grayslake, made a special appearance at the NBC Chicago studios. Rothacker, who has been training dogs for 55 years, shared that it took about a year of dedicated training for Pappy to perfect his hind leg walk, and the hard work paid off.
During their visit, Pappy and Rothacker attempted to break a Guinness World Record by having Pappy weave through eight poles before gracefully returning to his trainer. With precision and grace, Pappy maneuvered through the poles, showcasing his impressive talent and agility. Matt Rodrigues, excited about the feat, mentioned that they would be submitting the attempt to the Guinness Book of World Records for verification.
As the morning unfolded, viewers watching NBC 5 were treated to a delightful sight of Pappy the Poodle showcasing his incredible skill and charm. Whether he was walking across the anchor desk or making a special appearance during the weather segment, Pappy stole the show and captured the hearts of many with his endearing personality and impressive performance.
