Dan,

Careful there....

If the cover gets knocked off the ball, the ball remains in play until the continuous action of the play relaxes.

If a dog takes it, the ball remains in play until the dog enters DBT.

If it kills an errant seagull (unless it's a "pitch" at the time it does so), the seagull may be dead, but the ball remains in play.

Really.
