    If they watched Royals games they’d never have anything to chase…

    Interesting point. Actually, it depends on the glasses used; dogs are red-green colorblind, so the old colored lens glasses wouldn’t work; both lenses would feed the same image, without any parallax displacement. But the new polaroid lenses would work. See http://www.archimedes-lab.org/colorblindnesstest.html for more details.

    This is hilarious! Despite commentor’s trying to bring reality into the comics.

    This looks like the old red/blue 3-D comic book technology, so the effect has nothing to do with what colors the dogs see, only what images (red or blue) the glasses are filtering out.

    My question is: How do they still see the baseball when they turn around? I would think they would turn to chase it and spend the rest of the movie looking for it.

    More precisely, they can’t distinguish between red or green as clearly as most humans, although red typically appears darker than green (for people with red-green colorblindness; obviously we can’t secure a dog’s description of how colors look). But since at least some colorblind people can use the red-green 3D glasses, it’s plausible to think that at least some dogs can too.

    I knew of a dog who would chase a ball even if you didn’t actually throw it, and just went through the motion. And he would often go out for a head start while you were winding up.
