22. My sister's godmother used to have a little yap-yap

(some kind of terrier - Yorkshire or mix) who used to do this. She would stand at the top of the steps to the basement, would drop the ball so it bounced down the steps, then raced down to the bottom to catch it, and finally ran back up to the top to do it again (like the video).

She would do this over and over for who knows how long.
