Star Outfielder

Timone appears to be trying to catch the ball with his paws.

I was taking pictures of the kids in my community playing in the common oval when I noticed one of my neighbors tossing a ball for her dog.

I switched gears and swung the camera around to get several shots of the dog, Timone, leaping to catch the ball.

I racked the 35-105 lens out to the maximum (actually about 160, given the increased focal length using a film camera lens on a digital camera) and caught him in midair - though he missed the ball on this try.

The camera is a Minolta Maxxum 5D, with a Minolta 35-105 lens originally designed for a film Minolta.
