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.

You sure about the dog? I had it happen once in a youth game and once I say that the dog had "control" of the ball, I gave the sign for spectator's interference and placed the runners. I never got an argument from anyone on the field and my assigner said that he felt that was the right thing to do. But now I wonder........?!?!?
