Rescue Dogs with Talent! - Double-Dutch Dog Breaks Guinness Jump Rope Record And 13 Dogs from 'Super Wan Wan Circus' in Japan Jumping Rope!

A 4-year-old rescue dog Geronimo held the Guinness World Record for most Dutch-style jump-rope skips in one minute with 113, and broke her record live on TODAY by jumping 128 times!

Four-year-old Geronimo has got some chops when it comes to hops!

The Border Collie and Kelpie mix showed off her jumping skills by breaking her own Guinness world record for the most double-Dutch-style jump-rope skips (128!) in 1 minute. She was on TODAY to take part of our week-long series, "Spring Breakers TODAY," where we'll try to break other Guinness Records.


"Look at that eye and paw coordination," Kathie Lee Gifford said in amazement on TODAY as Geronimo did her thing.

Geronimo first became famous when owner Samantha Valle posted a video on YouTube of her jump roping talents.

"I am mesmerized," said Hoda, who gave it a try before Geronimo had her big moment.

Guinness World Records adjudicator Mike Janela confirmed the dynamic dog not only broke the record, but shattered it with 14 extra jumps than she needed.

"There's fried chicken upstairs!" an excited Kathie Lee yelled. "Let's get it for her!"

This Rescued Pit Bull's Transformation Will Renew Your Faith in Second Chances

A new viral video that has earned nearly 700,000 views since it was posted two weeks ago tells the moving story of Gideon, a sick Pit Bull whose joyful personality was revealed after he was rescued by the Bill Foundation in Los Angeles.

The sweet dog was living in an abandoned lot, terrified and in pain when rescuers arrived to help him in December. The foundation’s Annie Hart captured the rescue on video as two of her partners worked for three hours to gain Gideon’s trust with pieces of hamburger.

Finally, he was willing to go with them.

Hart told the Huffington Post that Gideon was “by far one of the sickest dogs" she'd ever seen. He was suffering from lacerations and bacterial and fungal infections, and he was starving.

Gideon had a microchip, but his registered owners told the microchip company they didn’t want the dog anymore, Hart said. The rescuers immediately brought him to the Animal Wellness Centers in L.A., which covered his expensive treatment.

Three months later, Gideon seems almost unrecognizable. "His beautiful spirit blossomed while his body healed," Hart said.

For now, Gideon is living with a foster family and looking for the right person to adopt him.

To apply to adopt Gideon, you can visit the Animal Wellness Foundation.
