Besides from the fact that she dropped the ball, my dog is almost like Air Bud. She can catch, and run with the ball, but she dropped it and decided she had enough play, today. As I was throwing the ball for her, I noticed that the ball is an object similar to what we have been talking about in Physics, which is work. When my dog picks up the ball and carries it back to me, she really is not doing any work to it because she raises the ball then moves it, and according to physics, if it is perpendicular, no work is being done. It's sad to think that even though she is running and using energy, she isn't doing work. But right after sitting down, my dog was trying to get my attention by pushing the ball with her nose, making the ball role. It dawned on me that my dog did work! She actually did work, because she pushed the ball in the same direction she was moving. Wow, I don't know what to say besides wow!
