Where does a dogs fascination with balls come from? A tennis ball is the only think my shar pei, Xin, will play with and Mercury seems to be the same way mostly, although he does enjoy a nice stuffie with a squeaker from time to time. Jupiter loves balls but will try to play with everything at least once.
Mercury will fetch but will also just pick up a stationary ball and hold it in his mouth or walk around with it. What instinct draws them to balls? No prey I can think of resembles a ball (other than our hedgehog) and I've heard of wolf pups playing with round rocks. Of course, human pups seem fascinated with balls naturally as well. What's the fascination?
