Some would say close, others would say nothing like it.
There is a canine connection.

Indeed.
The first recorded game of “Bass-Ball” took place in 1749 in Surrey, and featured the Prince of Wales as a player.
Frankfurters are made of smoked and boiled meat (don’t ask what).
Pickles (gherkins in the UK) are cucumbers, which are, officially, a fruit.
I bet that’s cheered everyone up 
Not sure what the answer is… but I remember when I lived in Cornwall for 8yrs; near this place of St Columb Major; and due to being an ‘outsider’… I was goaded into taking part in this each year.
Talk about being a rough game, the A& E in Truro was always ram-jam packed for a full 48hrs afterwards… broken bones, concussions, eye socket damage, you name it, it occurred.
Obviously, being a Scouser amongst all the Cornish, I used to get hammered each time… Talk about taking one for the team, and not letting the Liverpool brand down eh… It was ruthless :0)

What about this… 
Baseball canines are dogs that work for minor and major league baseball teams, retrieving bats and balls.
