Ride the wave of hope with Ricochet, the only dog in the world who surfs with wounded warriors, people with disabilities, and children with special needs as an assistive aid and SURFice dog.
this tears-to-triumph story shares the true journey of the gorgeous golden retriever Ricochet, who was expected to be a service dog from the moment she was born. Ricochet surpassed every other dog in her Puppy Prodigies training class; but she couldn't overcome her love for chasing birds. Fifteen months into her training, Ricochet was released, leaving a frustrated owner and a dog without a direction. But once her owner Judy learned to let Ricochet be who she really was, they found her true calling as a SURFice dog. Embracing her true purpose, Ricochet began to help others, including those with traumatic brain injuries, posttraumatic stress, and physical disabilities, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for charitable causes and inspiring people to believe in themselves.
Ricochet is a poignant tribute to a special dog and a reminder to celebrate our uniqueness and cherish life's everyday miracles.
