Coz they're stupid,... if you threw a stick off a cliff, would the dog go dashing after it without a second thought? yup, in a heart beat.

They cannot read,play chess,shuffle cards-in fact the list of pastimes available to them is limited,
so I suppose "fetch" is one of the few options left.

Dog's retrieve things; it's an instinct. They also like to do anything that pleases people and if they think you like it, they'll like it. Not to say it isn't about the attention.

Because of the attention they are getting from you. It's not the game, it's the time spent together doing something.

i think its because you are the alpha and they obey you. it makes them happy that the alpha(you)is happy because then they can get(if you have other dogs)a higher status with the others and with you. it is also a way dogs burn off energy and there old "chase" intstincs are still with them.

Because they have hunting instincts. If they were hunting, they would bring back the dead animal.

They have what's called a "retrieval drive."
