Dash, of http://circus.dog, in his first practice session on his new, custom-made tightrope, with custom full-body safety harness. Dash is recovering from a dislocated hip (3 weeks before this), so he will have lots of support and hands-on supervision throughout the learning process. And he'll wear the safety harness long after he's a pro on the high wire. 

Though Dash jumps off sofas that are twice his own height, as this is, an unplanned fall from that height could cause a concussion, broken/dislocated leg or even fatality. Please do not try tight-rope walking with your own dog unless he is wearing a full-body harness made for rapelling or you install the ropes just a couple of inches above ground-level.
