STUDY: Dogs Mostly Clueless About Tennis Balls
STUDY: Dogs Mostly Clueless About Tennis Balls
By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent
According to a new Princeton University study, dogs are mostly – if not completely inept – when it comes to using tennis balls.
“We had somewhat high expectations going in,” says lead researcher Sandeep Choudhury, D.V.M. “The tennis ball is a perennial favorite of the canine community. We assumed the dogs would display at least an average aptitude with the object. As it turns out, they haven’t the slightest idea what to do with the thing.”

Crafty Cat Makes Toys Out of Own Fur
Crafty Cat Makes Toys Out of Own Fur
Bored with standard pet store amusements, 3-year-old Toronto kitty Bruce Lee Wong has taken a DIY approach to filling up his toy box.
Using his very own fur, Wong lovingly crafts paw-made barnyard animals and balls that he can play with later. The process involves an intricate cross-stitch that makes the fur toys soft, yet durable.
The toys have become so popular among Wong’s family and friends that the enterprising cat has launched an Etsy shop. Nearly 400 units have been sold since mid February, and Lee has plans to hire an assistant in April.
