This is pretty cool… I got a pretty great video interview with Zak George!

I was looking through what was popular on the site over the past year or so, and I noticed that several thousand people had liked the following video from Zak George. It shows him demonstrating incredible dog/frisbee showmanship.

So I thought to myself, wonder if this guy would be up for a little interview - thinking that people might want to know more about this interesting character. So I approached him, and he said Yes, and turned around a video in a very short time. For a non-Bostonian he seems like a pretty cool guy and you can’t deny the talent he’s got with his dogs… and ladies… he is single.

I will post the actual interview questions I asked him below the video so you can go directly to that section if you want.

Thanks Zak - here’s the questions:
