Tennis balls and sandy shores are two things that our doggos love the most. If you are a dog parent, then you probably know about their affinity to bouncy balls, especially tennis balls. Our puppers love chasing them and bringing them back to us whenever we play fetch.
If we are going to play this game, we need wide open space and that’s just what a beach offers. Not only does the beach have the ocean to cool us off on a warm day, but it’s also got a lot of room for our fur babies and their tennis balls. Just be careful when the ball is pulled away by the ocean waves as not all doggos can swim.
Not only can the waves pull our dogs away from the shore, but there are also creatures under the ocean that could potentially hurt them. Fortunately, for this cute Collie named Lucy, the aquatic creature that she encountered was aiming for something else, and that was her tennis ball.
Lucy spends a lot of time at the beach with her mom, Riette Creighton, and her family. They would always play fetch using a tennis ball which seems to be Lucy’s favorite toy. After all, this pupper is Border Collie and she needs a way to use her stored up energy.
However, on this fateful day, Lucy’s tennis ball ended up on the rocky, shallow part of the ocean. There was a high tide that day, and with the tide were some creatures that were exploring the shallow parts for some food. Among those creatures was an octopus, who was drawn to the shiny ball that belonged to Lucy.
The malicious mollusk grabbed the tennis ball and pulled it down as it hid under the rocks. Upon witnessing this, Lucy, who was helpless just looked at her mom as if to say, “I ain’t going after that ball.” Don’t worry Lucy, we’re pretty sure mom will just get you a new one. See the hilarious encounter in the clip below.
