Dog Formations (dogsdogsdogs, pt2)

point
Not hard to find the convergent point on this one!

One of the funny things I noticed was how -- without direction -- the dogs would almost naturally position themselves in a perfect formation:

The Triangle Formation This was interesting because they did this over and over again, in almost the same order. I've annotated the pictures to show you who the players are.

Perfect formation out-bound! Here they actually ran out in almost perfect formation. Only Rondo is breaking formation-- never leave your wingman, doof!

The Magnificent Eight or The Wild Bunch? I'd say more of the latter. Fun to watch them run back in side-by-side, though!

Sometimes it was just sloppy fun. Dogs running out in all directions!

Nasty human trickses us! Ball-thrower started to do fake throws. Smart dogs, but surprisingly naive! It took them about four of these fake-outs to figure out what he was doing (except for the tosser's dog, who was used to this).

More who's-what

Another common formation. This one made me laugh because it looks like a basketball formation: The Stack. They would often line up this way...no idea why, but it looks neat!
