Unless the cover gets knocked off, dog takes it or it kills an errant seagull swooping down.

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.
