They will meet at the center of the square after unit time,
they will travel unit distance.
At any moment of time dogs will be at the corner of another
square with smaller size and same center, size of square
will decrease with time and finally they will meet at
center.
At any moment of time their speed toward center will be
1*cos(45) = 1/√2, and radial distance is √2, so they will
meet after √2/ (1/√2) = 1 unit time and will travel unit
distance.
