Video: This golden retriever is hilariously terrible at trying to catch food

Woof day fella?

Conor Heneghan

Ah would you just leave it on the ground for the poor fella.

Poor Fritz the dog doesn’t know anything about it, but the golden retriever has become something of an Internet sensation in recent days and it’s not for a great reason.

Fritz, bless him, is absolutely terrible at catching food and rather than hiding it from the rest of the world, his owner instead compiled some of his worst efforts into a video that is taking the web by storm.

Saying that, when you add in the soundtrack and some special effects, it’s hard not to chuckle at Fritz’s efforts to catch a strawberry, a steak, a meatball and more.

Fritz is nothing if not a trier, however and at the very end, he shows his true colours by catching probably the most difficult out of all the items of food thrown in his direction.

Round of a-paw-se anyone? We’ll get our coats.
