Hoss scores one for all the 4 leggers in the world by scoring an impressive 37 in his first attempt ever at the sport.

“It was tough at first”, Hoss was quoted as saying. “When I first booked this appearance, I wasn’t really thinking about the fact that I can’t pick up a bowling ball. Having no opposable thumbs makes it difficult.”

After a few failed attempts where he even tried to pick up the ball with his mouth, he realized that it would be much easier to place the ball near the foul line, go back a few steps, get a running start and then “push” the ball down the alley with his snooter.

This made for quite a few laughs when he actually chased the ball all the way down the alley and crashed into the pins himself. Resulting in his highest scoring frame, a strike!! “Instinct just took over. It’s tough when you are a dog to resist the urge to chase a moving ball and I just wasn’t mentally prepared that first frame.” Hoss said. “One of the guys in the next alley told me I needed to loosen up some and have a few beers. Apparently bowling is no fun sober.”

As the day went on, Hoss began to get the hang of the game and even though he was the first of his kind to ever set paw in a bowling alley, it sure was an experience for him!

“There’s ain’t nutin’ natural ’bout no dog bowling”, one PA local said. “He ain’t foolin’ us. Bowl all you want dog. We know you still ain’t like us.”

As of this writing, Hoss is continuing his tour of PA and might just be coming to a town near you next!
