Dog chasing an airborne stick

Here is the next stage of the woman's play with her dog. The stick has just left her hand, and the dog is already starting to react, pushing off the soft sand to dash in the direction of her throw.

I am sure that there are baseball managers and fans who with that the outfielders on their teams could be as fast to react to the direction and trajectory of a ball flying off a bat as this dog is to dash in the direction of the flight of the stick.

Please check out our photos of the gardens of the Villa Monestero on the shores of Lake Como, Italy, on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site. It is a special place.
