no, that’s banging Snoopy on the ground. retrieving is when the dog waits until the ball has left your hands, and then goes and gets it and brings it back to you.

Well, Linus had the ball, then Snoopy, then Linus again…so Linus did technically retrieve the ball from Snoopy. There was just no throwing or chasing involved as is normal in this sort of game.
