Ashley Whippet, widely considered to be the greatest frisbee dog ever, went on to win 3 World Championships, perform at the White House for a young Amy Carter, perform during the half-time at Super Bowl XII, and even starred in an Academy Award-nominated short documentary entitled Floating Free. Though many great dogs have come along since Ashley, he is still the standard by which all others are measured.
Ashley's legacy lives on now, 30 years later, as the sport has become popular worldwide. People and their dogs on at least four continents organise competitions and enjoy the simple joy of a disc in flight - and that terrific rush (for the dogs) of the catch at the end!
