Chanda-Leah
was fully toilet trained at the tender age of seven and a
half weeks. By her third birthday, she was already
delighting audiences with mini piano recitals. At age
four, she began reading and doing mathematical equations
in dazzling displays of intelligence. Before this gifted
prodigy passed to the Rainbow Bridge, she had started
painting stunning water-colors that were on par with the
work of any abstract artist.
Chanda-Leah was a toy poodle who held the Guinness World
record for the 'Most Tricks Performed by a Dog'. She’s
was hailed as the 'World’s Smartest Dog' by both Ripley's Believe
it or Not and The
National Enquirer
due to a repertoire that included over 1000 tricks.
This
delightful little dog was an experienced, multi-talented,
show -stopping performer who was nothing short of
phenomenal.
Chanda-Leah
was an accomplished artist whose rich and colorful
abstract paintings became collector’s items that can be
seen in numerous homes around the world.
Her
musical virtuosity had the ability to bring the house down
and extended beyond the piano to the drums and to the
saxophone.
Perhaps
most impressively, this doggy wonder knew the alphabet,
the days of the week, the months of the year, numbers from
1-100 and could add, subtract and multiply AND read all of
the above from cue cards.
Although,
Chanda-Leah garnered the attention of the local, national
and international media, most notably appearing on the Jay
Leno Show and David
Letterman Show, most of the work she did was
behind the scenes on her home turf in Ontario, Canada.
She was a sucker for a good cause and loved to entertain
in schools, churches, nursing homes, hospitals and at
various fairs and fundraisers.
Chanda-Leah
touched lives and amazed and inspired every generation
with her sheer
skill, unblinking focus, big smile and high energy levels
combined with a sharp intellect
and a winning attitude.
This
adorable, champagne- colored fluffy genius will be sorely
missed by her owner and trainer, Sharon Robinson and her
husband Tommy Robinson and by her legions of fans in
Canada and all over the world. Chanda died on June
20th, 2006 in Hamilton, Ontario, due to
complications causes by cardiac difficulties. She
was 12
1/2
years old.
