There is nothing more fun for dogs than being out in nature, running free, and, of course, playing with their favourite toys and balls. And this is exactly what Lucy, who loves to walk along the beach with her owner, was doing.
There is a creature in the water
Lucy always makes sure she takes her favourite ball with her on all her adventures and this time was no exception. However, something unexpected happened that turned the family adventure into something strange.
While Lucy was playing with her ball on the beach near her home in South Africa, a shadow appeared in the water and appeared to absorb the ball and make it disappear.
Confused, Lucy turned to look at her owner as if to ask, "What happened?"
Ball stealing octopus!
But it wasn't some scary sea monster. As high tide approached, an octopus had taken the opportunity to swim into the shallow water, and crept up on Lucy and her family. This surprised the little dog, who dropped her ball in the water where she was standing.
And so the octopus seized the moment and took the toy for himself. Goodbye ball!
Sadly, Lucy had to give up her favourite toy because, after the octopus wrapped its tentacle around her, she never saw the ball again.
Fortunatley, Lucy didn't let it ruin her day and continued to play, happy to be with her family in nature and running along the beach. And the good news is that the next day, Lucy was back in the water with a new ball!
