Once upon a time, there was a dog who fell in love with a basketball.

He found it one stormy, November day floating in the stream behind his house and claimed it as his own.

Then, for the next nine months, he carried it around the yard everywhere with him. On walks…to go pee…to sniff in the stream for frogs and tasty bits of grass.
