Wild dogs use the race to hunt; that's why our dogs when they see something small move, which bounces and changes direction like small prey in nature like rabbits, their natural instinct tells them to chase and hunt it,"explains Caroline Coile, an expert in canine behavior at the University of Florida (EE).Why do dogs love balls (Sterling 2008)?
Dogs go after balls in instinct movement, one of the most important things in life.
