Mary Ellen spotted all these used tennis balls at the canoe launch on the Charles River at Millennium Park today. A sacrifice, or an attempt to give all the dog owners who bring their pets there something to throw into the river for them to fetch?

Offerings to the river dogs

Does this qualify as Playing With Your Dog, or Throwing Junk Into the River? If the dog always successfully retrieves the tennis ball, then it is surely the former, but then what is the need for a whole box of them?

Once your dog decides this is the best tennis ball ever and his soulmate and best friend, he's not going to return it to the box.

Dog owners at Millennium prefer random strangers over tennis balls.
