Emitting dimensions are swallowing you
The neighborhood dogs used to love to chase balls we'd shoot out of Polish cannons, although they probably were kind of hot and tasted like ronsonol.

btw to all the people of Polish descent or nationality on SA I apologize for using a derogatory term from the bad old days.

My dog has zero interest in frisbees or any other dog for that matter. Which is good because I play a lot of frisbee with the kids and the dog would be annoying. She is infatuated with tennis balls.

An ex gf had a dog that was a heat seeking middle for tennis balls. It was a muscly pit mix and throwing a ball through a dog park meant watching it ignore dogs and shoulder tackle anyone in its way to catch the ball before it hit the ground, then trot back happily knocking anyone over often just as they got to their feet. It wasn't mean just single minded

It wasn't a big dog just v solid and anything with a high center of gravity was going down. It didn't seem to enjoy fetch it was more I WILL FETCH THE BALL NOW, HUMAN, AND YOU WILL THROW

Once I fake threw and hid it behind my back and was immediately tackled full to the ground NO HUMAN, YOU MISUNDERSTAND

"Hey um, is that your dog? He keeps bumping into the other dogs a lot-" "Yeah! Hey sorry he's just really into fetch, let me get out of your way haha he's friendly though see? Here he comes-"

HUMAN, I HAVE RETURNED BALL, YOU WILL THROW NOW, WITH YOUR HAND

"Thanks yeah, he's a good looking dog-"

HUMAN, YOU WILL IGNORE THIS LESSER BEING AND THROW BALL NOW FOR I HAVE NOT THUMBS

Pitbulls are poo poo dogs that murder children. Rednecks think it's bad owners, but they were bred to be pieces of poo poo so it comes naturally.

I like to pretend like I'm throwing the ball, then the dog goes to run after it but then he stops and realizes nothing got thrown. Then he looks back and I can see the distrust in his eyes, but he'll forget I did him wrong 30 seconds later.

Well jeesh. Throw a tennis ball 100 ft every 30 seconds for an hour and see how your shoulder feels. Now repeat every single day until your dog dies.
