    I’m imagining the commentary between Chrissy Everett and John McEnroe at Wimbledon. And how dog saliva on the balls effects the physics as it strikes the grass versus standard paved courts. Then they heatedly discuss the banning of the use of ball-dogs at the French Open due to the clay courts turning the sticky wet balls into dirt clods not to mention the dogs having to constantly wash their mouths which just exacerbate the wet ball problem...

    There was a small breed called the Ramasseur (french for "gatherer") bred a few hundred years ago specifically for the purpose of retrieving errant tennis balls during the games of French royalty. They were so prized and their breeding so exclusive that only 200 were ever known to exist, and all were owned by the House of Bourbon. During the upheaval of the French Revolution, after the public execution of Louis XVI the people stormed his property, and - seeing the pampered custom animals as a gaudy extravagant reminder of absolute monarchy - promptly executed the last 10 examples of the breed in 1793.
    None of this actually happened. I just made that shit up. Seems like it could be true though...

      sound like it could be true because you know what is true, back then rich people bred dogs as a hobby to see who can come up with new cool looking dogs. fucked up part about when they found a look of a dog they like they interbred the dogs to keep those traits going eventually becoming a breed. so basically all dogs of certain breeds are related.

      In fairness the video is poorly shot. Too many close shots with few wide or framing shots. Often felt like the dogs were staged and not actually picking up balls on proper cue. So either it's fake or, even worse, so poorly shot it looked fake. Needed angles where, from wide, Venus would miss a shot and then the dogs did their thing. Also never showed where the balls go after they pick them up.

    Very sweet. My first dog was a Cocker Spaniel named "Buddy". He loved to play ball in our back yard. He would bring you his tennis ball and the game was on.

    Why not? They can probably be trained to deliver a mean serve. Please, nix the animal cruelty remarks. Are you serious? This is fun.

    this would be a good idea to do everywhere I think... except for the drool that the balls will be covered in xp

      Haha, I mean you’re really not wrong. Dogs and us were chilling together when we’re both still hunter gatherers, chasing after the same game. (Where and when this happened is up to debate, apparently there might’ve been two separate domestications one in Europe and one in asia) When we settled down, they settled down with us. Livestock animals like pigs, sheep, cows were all domesticated later by some thousands of years. If not for dogs, we wouldn’t have had the luxury to make permanent homes, and we wouldn’t have thought about domesticating other species.
