Studland: somersaulting dog on South Beach

This dog was playing an amusing game where his owner, crouched out of shot to the left, held a small stone at the dog's eye level. He then tossed it gently into the air, maybe three feet high above the dog, who then did a full-twist somersault in a usually unsuccessful attempt to catch it. The dog and the man were both happy to repeat the process more or less for ever.
