Due to her outstanding ball tricks, three-year-old Oreo has acquired the moniker LeBark James, after the American professional LeBron.
The canine performer from London, Ontario, Canada, is poised to catch the ball and make a flawless two-point shot while sitting on her hind legs. She is a member of Ultimutts, a group of skilled animals that perform in front of audiences at more than 200 events each year all throughout the United States and Canada.
Oreo is a big favorite among spectators, according to their trainer Melissa Millett, 36, who claims they want to take her home.
“LeBron James has nothing on Oreo, she’s an amazing star in the making,” founder and trainer Melissa remarked.”
She can slam dunk and catch the ball just like a human, which makes her an extremely excellent basketball player.
“When people see her skills, they are genuinely shocked, gasp, and just like the trick. She adjusts her body to make sure she can grasp the ball while sitting on her hind legs and grabbing it with her paws in midair.”
Prior to joining the Ultimutts team, Oreo was first trained as a service dog after being saved from an auction for unwanted puppies from mills.
Despite having a difficult childhood, Oreo has gone on to become a fan favorite who enjoys young children and has a wonderful disposition.
She is a little clown, Melissa remarked. She is everyone’s favorite and is incredibly goofy and amiable.
“Oreo loves kids more than any dog in the world. She brightens up and becomes totally absorbed when she sees them.”
Oreo needed a year to be trained to do both tricks, which Melissa exclaimed were flawless.
The only issue with the trick, according to her, is that she has to throw the ball in the proper spot and occasionally she throws it too low, making it difficult for her to put up with her as a partner.
All in all, they spend a great time together.
