Fritz is an adorable golden retriever with what appears to be a sweet disposition and an eye for fashionable, accessorizing bandanas. He’s also a talentless hack when it comes to catching treats.

Owner Evan Ball filmed an arresting, dare we say instantly iconic compilation of Fritz’s steep learning curve with respect to snagging airborne goodies. He misses on a donut, taco, and even botches the timing necessary to catch a strawberry. 

The fail compilation is set to this melancholy, thumping synth composition that makes you think of Ryan Gosling‘s Drive. It’s an original piece of music apparently written by Ball for this profound vignette about the Sisyphean struggle that is human existence in the digital age.
