Fetch! US dog breaks world record after chasing down 75m frisbee throw for impressive catch

February 26, 2019

A dog in the US has broken a world record after taking a superb frisbee catch during halftime at an American football game.

During the halftime of Sunday's Alliance of American Football game between the Orlando Apollos and Memphis Express, Eurie managed to steal the show after chasing down an 83-yard (75m) throw in front of 20,000 fans.

The catch at Spectrum Stadium in Orlando set a world record for making a frisbee catch at a live sporting event but fell well short of the longest flying disk catch made by a dog, which the Guinness World Records confirms currently sits at 134-yards (122m).

Thrower Gary Duke, who is the director of the Central Florida Disc Dogs Club and works with the Halftime Dogs Flying Disc Show, was still proud of his and Eurie's efforts though.

"Eurie did the hard work and I just [became] a spectator like everybody else after I let it rip," Duke wrote in a tweet.

To make the night that much sweeter for home fans, the Apollos came out on top against the Express 21-17 to start their AAF season 3-0.
