It is widely acknowledged that dogs love to catch balls. In previous cases, if we were asked to bet on whether a dog could catch a ball, we would have bet "yes, that dog can catch the ball."

That was before we saw this dog. This dog cannot catch the ball, nor even come close to catching the ball. To be frank, we see no room for this dog's ball-catching skills to improve.

Does this dog perhaps need glasses?

But let's not get too cynical, friends. After all, this dog, while horribly, embarrassingly bad at sports, never gives up. And that means -- despite everything -- this is a good dog.
