Here's why:
* Motion is defined as a change in position over time.
* The poodle is clearly changing its position as it runs across the lawn.
You could also argue it's an example of:
* Kinetic energy: The poodle is moving, which means it has kinetic energy, the energy of motion.
* Animal behavior: The poodle's racing is a form of behavior.
