An unusual situation in the center of Łódź. A video has appeared online, showing a dog throwing a tennis ball from a balcony to people passing by on Piotrkowska Street. Several of them took up the challenge and threw it back to the dog. – For many dogs, fetching a ball is an opportunity to show natural behavior, at the same time to be close and have contact with a human – commented on the dog's behavior Małgorzata Kołodziejczak from the animal shelter in Łódź.
This unusual situation took place on Sunday on the main promenade of Łódź – Piotrkowska Street. A video appeared on the internet showing a black dog sticking its head out of the balcony of a tenement house and throwing a tennis ball. The recording shows that people walking down the street stop and throw it back. One of the women managed to do it only on the third attempt. The dog – as you can see in the video – was happy and kept throwing his toy, counting on the reaction of the people walking along Łódź.
“Lay off the sugar, you won't see anything sweeter today”
The recording appeared on social media, including on the LDZ Zmotoryzowani Łodzianie profiles, or on the official Łódź Facebook profile. “Lay off the sugar, you won't see anything sweeter today” – the Łódź profile commented on the event. – Once again, the rule is proven that if someone is looking for good fun in Łódź, it is enough to look for a moment at Piotrkowska Street – commented on the dog's behavior, the spokesman for the City of Łódź Office, Paweł Spiechowicz.
“It was fun for him”
We asked a representative of the animal shelter on Marmurowa Street in Łódź about the dog's behavior. – For many dogs, fetching a ball is an opportunity to show natural behavior, and at the same time to be close and have contact with humans – commented on the dog's behavior Małgorzata Kołodziejczak from the animal shelter in Łódź. – For him, it was fun, every dog likes to be the center of attention. Once he loves and trusts, every dog likes to be the center of attention – added Małgorzata Kołodziejczak.
