Norman the scooter-driving dog is seeking to become the first dog to ride a scooter by himself.

The owners of Norman, a 3-year-old French sheepdog, is trying to get him into the Guinness Book of World Records for riding a scooter 98 feet by himself.

“I think he likes to be able to stand up and move and move quickly,” owner Karen Cobb told 9 News.

Cobb said Norman has loved scooters since he was a puppy after they placed him on top of one. The dog can move it forward by pushing with its back foot.

According to USA Today, Norman will make the record-setting attempt in Marietta, Georgia, on Friday. The dog has to ride on the scooter in less than 30 seconds.

The event, which will be held at All Tournament Players Park, will be used to raise money for animal rescue agency Road Trip Home.

Norman has appeared on the “Late Show with David Letterman,” “Inside Edition,” and “Good Morning America,” according to a website set up for him.
