My wife and adopted a 7 year old guy from BRAT this past December and he does the same thing. He's a retired puppy mill stud that never learned how to climb stairs until he was "freed." If he gets a running start, he can leap a step or two, but if he walks up to steps, he goes up backwards, just like in the video. He also has a phobia with certain door thresholds. But don't worry. He's a super fun little guy who just has a few little quirks. He can outrun his 12 year old B-sister in the yard, but she always beats him up the stairs.

Thanks for sharing the story.
My dad and his two basenjis recently made the local paper. We had no idea he had been interviewed until two of my puppy buyers mentioned having seen my dad in the newspaper recently. They were very sweet and cut out the article for me so I could see it since I don't live in the Bay Area. The link doesn't have the photo that went with the article that showed my dad with Cole and Levi, for some reason called Guy in the article.
