Wilson not only has the fastest, but also the most accurate tongue in all of Boston! Of course, you wouldn\u2019t know it to look at this handsome little guy, but when you\u2019re this good, there\u2019s absolutely no need to brag. <\/p>\n

Besides, maintaining a low profile preserves the element of surprise. A \u201cLightning Licker,\u201d as they\u2019re known in the trade, can be quite the cunning character. This extraordinarily talented actor might pretend to be following a scent, when he\u2019s actually moving into position.<\/p>\n

Or, as Wilson so expertly demonstrates, there\u2019s the classic \u201cStaring Off into the Distance\u201d pose\u2013 often employed just before the final set-up. This crafty canine appears to be in a trance-like state, but it\u2019s a sure sign that he\u2019s about to strike!<\/p>\n

A blur of pink extends toward his target as Wilson lunges in for a landing. Notice the body extension and fluid form that propels him toward his destination. You can tell, it\u2019s not his first time.<\/p>\n
