Dogs love to play different kinds of games with their humans. One of their favourite games often turns out to be fetch. That is what this dog wanted to play with his tiny human not realising that it would take the kid a few more years to throw the ball to entertain the pooch. The result that the dog’s effort yielded was also captured and shared online. Expectedly, the video has now left people chuckling.
