The Rose Parade on New Years day in Pasadena, California will be extra special this year because it's going to the dogs. But not just any dogs: skateboarding bulldogs!

Natural balance pet foods is sponsoring a float that's built for two very special 4-legged athletes: Tyson and Tillman.

The dogs love to skateboard, but for this parade, the two pooches have to train in very confined spaces.

Tyson and Tillman will perform one at a time. That way, while one is performing, the other one can rest and take a water break.
