No other breed has the over-reach which makes this possible. Carolyn Go girl. There are 5 species that exhibit the flying trot and only one of them is a dog, our dog. The others are: Standard bred horse (also known as the trotter/pacer), wolf (not coyote), moose, and the hyena. I like ours best, but watching wolves is a powerful image.
