Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Walking the Dog! Jenny goodman; 10; of Willowdale is sitting pretty on her skateboard as she cruises down a gentle hill with Blaze; here 9-month-old English cocker spaniel pacing beside her. Jenny is an avid skateboard fan and her parents breed spaniels. Blaze looks pretty cool towards the whole idea; though. Skateboarding is like skiing or surfing on a banana peel; not knowing when the board is going to slither out from underfoot. The trick is deciding just when to jump off and how to steer around obstacles.
