Recently, a Twitter user named Kev & Trev shared a picture of a chair made out of only tennis balls. Also, in this picture, it says Tennis ball chair, and the price is $200. Meanwhile, Martina saw this and retweeted, “A dog’s dream!!!”

Probably, she was mentioning the love a dog has for balls, as they like fetching it, in general. Notably, Martina has a cute Miniature Dachshund breed, named Lulu, as she often posts about her on Twitter and other social media platforms. A few months ago, Lulu made an appearance during an interview with Good Morning Britain. And a few years back, Martina posted about two purebred Malinois puppies as they were up for adoption at that time.
