How would you react if were a dog and you dropped your favorite ball? That isn’t supposed to happen if chasing balls is one of your favorite activities. But it’s exactly what happened to the boxer pup in the video you’re about to see.
The pup’s reaction was something else and it made everyone smile!
It’s my ball and I won’t lose it!
Believe it or not, there’s a whole science behind dogs and balls that explains why our favorite pets love to chase balls and play with them more than anything else. Dogs are natural hunters who began living together with humans thousands of years ago. Our ancestors use dogs to help them catch prey and old instincts don’t go away so easily!
Modern dogs, however, rarely go out hunting, so they need something else to do in order to satisfy their primal instincts. So instead of real, living prey, they chase… balls? Incredible, isn’t it?
Dogs can be pretty obsessed with playing with balls
Some dogs can become really obsessed with fetching balls and it may even get out of hand to the point when they want to play with a ball all day long! As we can see in the video, our boxer pup becomes moody when he loses the ball. He’s clearly sulking and the anger that’s building up inside him is about to burst out!
He looks so disappointed it’s almost heartbreaking to watch him stare emptily at the camera because his favorite toy is missing!
Can I please get my ball back?
We don’t like to see our pets sad, no matter what. This boxer pup’s owner realized it’s time to do something and jump to save the day. When the pup got his ball back we immediately see a huge change in him. No more sulking! We see him rolling over in joy as if his moment of weakness never happened!
