Fritz the dog loves to play Frisbee. He still catches it most of the time, though not as much as he used to... before he went blind. Somehow the sightless German Shepherd manages to hear and catch the flying disk mid-air.

Great Story
I like how the story transitions from studio to outdoors.
I get a vivid picture in my head of the scene, and that's always a good thing.
Love the moment caught on tape - surprising and rewarding.
Exactly the right length.
