Maty had a rough start in life. At only 3 weeks old, she was abandoned in a motel by her owners. After being rescued, she was about to be adopted when she was struck with a severe infection in one of her rear legs.

At nine months of age, Maty began running after a frisbee simply as a way to stay fit. But it was clear that she had a instinctive ability with them, and she subsequently began entering competitions.
