Surfer dog Efruz, a Jack Russell terrier, loves to surf in Peru

In Peru, Efruz the Jack Russell terrier is known for surfing in the Pacific waters off Peru with his owner Mauro Canella, a surfing instructor.

LIMA, Peru — Clad in a yellow vest, little Efruz balances himself on the front of the surfboard as waves foam around him and his companion as they skim over the Pacific waters off Peru.

Efruz is a 4-year-old Jack Russell terrier and he is a common sight these hot days of the Southern Hemisphere summer.

“He loves the sea,” says his owner, Mauro Canella, a surfing instructor at the beach in San Bartolo, a district 50 kilometers (30 miles) from downtown Lima.

Canella says they began surfing together about a year ago.

And they are not the only dog-human duo surfing the waves off San Baartolo. A dozen or more can be seen during a weekend.
