Non native so maybe it just gets lost, but I don't get it?
Is the error that the possessive 's is missing at 'dogs' ? If so, then its plural... I don't get it ^^'
20 0 ReplyYes, they forgot the apostrophe, so the Dad took "Have you seen the dogs bowl?" to mean "Have you seen the dogs go bowling?"
22 1 ReplyOohhh OK, now I get it. I was missing that 'bowl' is short for bowling.
17 0 ReplyWhile that gives the response more legitimacy, dads don't actually care about the grammar and will make a smart ass response just based on how the question sounds.

Have you seen the bowl belonging to the dog? (The intended question of the asker. You're right, it's missing the possessive.)
vs.
Have you seen the dogs bowling? (The dad's perfect misinterpretation.)
19 0 ReplyYou're on the right track. The possessive 's is missing which would make it the bowl of the dog (as intended). The way it is written, "bowl" could be a verb as in "have you seen the dogs when they bowl". Hope that makes sense and I'm a non native myself so not 100% sure myself
12 0 ReplyYep, that's it. This way "bowl" becomes a verb and the sentence means "Have you seen the dogs play bowling?".
