Suppose that a hare starts at the origin (0, 0) and runs with speed Vh along the y-axis toward a tree located at (0, a). At the same time a dog starts at the point (b, 0) on the x-axis and runs with speed Vd directly toward the hare. Derive a differential equation that describes the dog's path and determine its shape.
