There are two women on one side of the volleyball net and a gentleman with his dog, a black Labrador retriever, playing on the other side. Yeah, you read that right. This dog is playing volleyball. In fact, this pup is a very active participant. Each player runs around, following the ball. At one point, the guy playing with the dog hits the ball, as if serving it to the black dog. The black dog, without hesitation, hits the ball with its nose, getting it sky-high so the man can hit it with proper force over the net. The dog seems to completely understand its role here. It watches intently as the ladies on the other side of the net hit the ball into the air and use extra force to get it over to its side of the net. When the dog sees the ball coming toward its side of the net, it keeps a steady eye on how the man responds to make sure that the ball never touches the ground. It makes sense that this pup has learned to play volleyball. Labrador retrievers are eager to please with tons of energy. They are fantastic family dogs because of their friendly nature.

Labrador retrievers have super friendly personalities, so it must be a complete joy for the owners to enjoy this type of activity with their dog.
