Whoever said you can't teach an old dog new tricks was sorely mistaken when it came to Oakland, the American Staffordshire Bull Terrior.

This 1.5 year old rescue tries to release his inner gymnast by attempting to do a cartwheel after watching 4-year old Kaitlyn flip across the living room floor.

He ended up rolling on his back, after a ruff landing, but this dynastic duo finished off the video with a floor routine together.

Since the video has gone viral, poster Jacqueline Sloan Ziegler has set up a Facebook page to show the world how wonderful rescued dogs can be!
