Frisbee depicts a dog leaping into the air, with three legs off the ground, catching a disc in its mouth.

An inscription, "Frisbee A Gift to Middlebury College from Gary Merrill" is also noted on the underside of the disc, along the rim.

Inscribed on the raised rear paw on the toe pads are the names "Matthew" and "Cameron".

Working in bronze and steel, his first solo exhibition was in Beverly Hills, California in 1967 and he became a Fellow of the National Sculpture Society in 1990.
