A Scientific Analysis.
You may have noticed there was a dog at the Emirates today, in fact, it was hard not to notice it.
During Arsenal's 2-0 loss to West Ham, a cartoon dog was "running" around the side of pitch as part of an advertising campaign.
This gif shows the agonising moment that the camera cuts away from the dog barely SECONDS before it looked like it was about to hit the ball.

But we can use still images of the incident to predict the eventual outcome, and answer the important question of whether the dog hit the ball.
This still is taken shortly after Aaron Ramsey made his misplaced pass in the direction of Nacho Monreal.
In fact, it is 0.48 seconds after the ball left Ramsey's foot.
Assuming the position of the ball is around three metres away from Ramsey, you can assume that the ball is traveling at a speed of around six metres per second.
