“This is all in the early stages, but I think Daisy’s Discs is going to be a fun success,” Bolock said. “People are really excited about it. There’s no telling how many discs might still be lost out there, and Daisy just might find them.”

Kelly Mason was walking her dog Daisy through a park in Moundsville, West Virginia. Suddenly the yellow Labrador retriever stopped, sniffed the air, and then took off running on her extended leash toward nearby trees.
