FrisbeeDog.com is a tribute to Cid the Man, the incredible Frisbee^® -catching dog from Allston and Concord, MA. 

Cid was adopted from the Boston Animal Rescue League in 1978 by his first owner, Fritz. Fritz carried the little puppy on the subway! Fritz and Cid lived in a first-floor apartment of a triple-decker house on Gardner Terrace in the Allston section of Boston. The dead-ended Gardner Terrace was a safe place for Cid to grow up and learn to catch Frisbee.

The photos were taken between two triple-decker houses, 6 and 8 Gardner Terrace. Cid the Man leaps for the Frisbee before it's thrown, and then runs after it as it's hurled by his new owner Rick. 

An amazing aspect of Cid the Man's Frisbee catching was the way he was able to read the direction of the Frisbee in flight. He was patient and knew just where to be to catch the Frisbee as it wavered in the wind. Most incredibly, he could catch the Frisbee amazingly as it banked off of a car or the house.

Rick entered Cid the Man in an Alpo^® or Purina^® -sponsored Frisbee dog competition, and Cid did extremely well. The goal was to catch and bring back as many throws as possible, and a very small-breed dog won. It was a wide open ball field on a windy day, and Rick's throws were floating off in the wind, and yet Cid made some amazing catches. One time the Frisbee veered off his mouth and he stayed with it and caught it.

Another amazing aspect of Cid the Man's Frisbee catching was that you could throw it straight to him. First you fake a throw to get him to run several yards, and then whip the Frisbee right to him. He would watch as it came toward his face, open his mouth, and catch it! Completely amazing.

Thanks for visiting. Here are a few bonus pics!
