Dogs are usually maestros when it comes to games of throw and catch - especially when there 's food involved . But Fritz the Golden Retriever from California appears to lack any eye-mouth co-ordination skills , as a new video shows . The pooch was filmed wearing bunny ears this Easter trying - and miserably failing - to catch a hard-boiled egg between his teeth . Slow-motion footage shows him licking his lips and enthusiastically leaping up to catch the treat . However , despite his best efforts , the egg narrowly misses his jaw , bounces off his chest and hits the grass instead . A defeated Fritz is then seen hanging his head low , with his bunny ears falling to the ground . The pup has made quite a name for himself with his poor catching skills . Indeed , his YouTube channel boasts more than five million hits . Other videos show him being thrown steak , tacos , bread rolls , pizza and donuts , with misses every time . Fritz 's owner , Evan Ball , hopes that one day the dog will be able to achieve the 'paw-fect ' catch . He added : 'While we all intently anticipate the day when Fritz masters the skill of catching food in his mouth , we also patiently embrace the journey .
