Whiplash the rodeo monkey earned his spurs this week at a stock show
in Fort Worth, Tx., according to a Local 6 News report.

The 16-year-old primate put his 60-pound border collie through its
paces as part of the Fort Worth Stock show.

Whiplash and his collie travel across the continent to perform in
shows. They are able to make about 200 shows a year, according to the
report.

The monkey's owner said that Whiplash often gets crazy in the ring so
he never knows what the monkey will do when the show starts.
