Aren’t dogs amazing? There’s always something more we can learn from them, be inspired by, or just laugh about.

In terms of their agility, some dogs can go to superhero lengths to catch balls and frisbees, and make it look effortless.

Photographer Claudio Piccoli has mastered this as an art, and has incredible images of dogs captures mid-leap.

Below are just a few of our favorites, showcasing the determination, athleticism, and sheer willpower of these furry companions.

  1. Oh, what beautiful doggins!!! And the photos aren’t bad either.

  2. Shows the super power of dogs to try with every atom to achieve the goal of catching the prey! Beauty!

  3. Makes me wonder what my frisbee dog would have looked like in one of these shots. “Hudson,” you were The Best Dog in the Multiverse. And a damn good frisbee dog.
