22- My German Shepard, Lilo, loves to play
ball. She sees me coming with the ball, and her
tail starts to wag continuously. Sometimes she
waits very patiently, other times, she jumps
around like she ate too much candy. When I throw
the ball, she retrieves it and obediently sets it
back near my feet. She will even fetch the ball
when it goes in the dirty water. I love to play
ball with my dog.
