Harry is a nervous guy who has figured out how to manage his condition: as long as he has a ball between his teeth, he's OK.
Even when his owner just wants to take the ball so she can throw it for him, Harry won't give it up without a fight.
So you may be able to imagine how Harry's sanity was tested this afternoon, when his ball rolled down the hill, into the brush and out of sight.
His owner took a search party, composed of Harry, Finney and Oliver, down the hill to look for it. But the ball was truly lost, and finally they had to give up.
Although Harry tried to hold himself together, you could see that he was a broken man.
They went home soon afterwards to find Harry a replacement lovey.
