Two Clever Dogs Invent Their Own Way Of Playing Fetch

Meet Leyla and Bear, two nice dogs who understand that the finest moments are those they can share with one other.

Look no farther than this fresh interpretation of a time-honored game that Leyla and Bear created themselves as evidence.

After years of living in an apartment, the two dogs and their family recently moved into a new home — and it’s presented some new opportunities for fun. Now, they can actually play fetch inside.

“We started by throwing the ball upstairs [from the living room], so they would have to run up and down the stairs,” Kristine Lequerique, the dogs’ owner, told The Dodo.

But one day, Leyla decided to stay upstairs after the ball was thrown. And rather than run back down to return it, she instead “passed” it to Bear waiting down below — making the game equally fun for everyone.

Here they are in action:

Lequerique was astounded to see the fetch Leyla and Bear had produced.

I was shocked, she exclaimed. “From there, everything just kept going,”

Since then, all earlier forms of fetch have been tossed out the window (so to speak). And they haven’t looked back.

“This happens all day, every day. They can go for hours or until we stop. Then they just continue to throw the ball at you until we start again,” Lequerique said. “They’re so smart.”
