GOODBYE GEORGE. GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN

Yesterday, Al Erikson’s beloved frisbee dog George, lost his battle with Lupus at the ripe old age of 16.

Al, who owns Where Dogs Fly, is an anchor member of the San Diego K9 Frisbee Toss & Fetch Club and, up until recently, allowed George to do what made him happiest, attend League when he was feeling good to catch some short throws from Al.

George a rat terrier, was 22 lbs. of pure Frisbee catching fun. On the Frisbee field, he was the dog to beat. He changed everyone’s perspective on competing with a small dog. Crowd’s loved him. He was a tough competitor and an amazing toss and fetch dog. To see that small streak running down the field and catch a disc just about as big as he was, was thrilling.

Al eulogized George yesterday in a post: “We said goodbye to George today. Those who know us well know that he completely changed the course of our lives. We had no plans to get into the World of Disc Dogs. We did not even know it existed. Even then it was by accident.
We would not have made the many many friends around the country. We would not have traveled coast to coast for events. We would not be living here in Fallbrook in a property we love. Much would be different.”

We salute you George. You made thousands of people smile while having fun and proving the little guys can run with the big dogs.
