We all fell in love with the ball-retrieving wonder dogs that assisted Venus Williams at the ASB Classic. But ball dogs are all around us -- and they're all incredible.

Tennis players Gastao Elias and Roberto Carballes Baena employed a few ball dogs of their own for a match in Sao Paolo, Brazil, and all the pups did a very good job. Bonus: They are all rescue dogs!

Will dogs replace tennis players next? Who knows?
