Breed: Shih Tzu cross Silky Terrier
Age: 7
Sex: Male
Hobbies: Skydiving, Chewing Bones, long walks, good pats
and chasing the postman!
Started Skydiving: April 2001
Hamish is a very special little guy, freefalling from an
aircraft at 6,000ft above the ground is a great
accomplishment! Not only did he have pressure of all his
canine friends awaiting him on the ground at Ellenbrooks
Pooch Party for Appealathon, he had to also behave in a
manner that would get him down safely. ( Yes that means no
chewing on any harnesses & no uncalled for wriggling around
whilst in the aircraft!)
So how did this fury friend of ours become an overnight
star, splashed over the 3rd page of the newspaper. This is
no ordinary Shiz Tzu x Silky Terrier, Hamish has made
regular visits down to our Pinjarra Drop Zone to help his
Skydiving Master, Steve Thomas. So it was only natural that
after being surrounded by the skydiving race, that he'd
become addicted too!
So there you have it.............check out the pic's
below to see just how cool this dog is!!
Earlier last year Gordon Hughes of Bayswater realized his
dream of skydiving at age 90.
"I've wanted to try parachuting ever since I pulled out
of an umbrella jump when I was nine. We were jumping off the
roof and my cousin went first. I though better of it when
his umbrella turned inside out and he broke his collar
bone."
"I had to do the jump before I got too old..." said
Gordon.
