Dogs On the Pitch

Two truisms:

There are few things as wonderful watching a dog run around and be happy.

You cannot catch a dog unless she wants to be caught. 

I saw the first clip on Twitter and then, of course, ended up watching many more dogs-on-the-field videos.

They think they are so smart, luring the dog off the field by waiving a big red bag like a toy. It's working, it's working . . . until they get close to the gate off the field . . . and the dog stops dead in his tracks. Ears down, looks over the situation . . .  and turns around and runs off again! Wheeeeeeeeeeee!
