In the midst of those wonders we discover the voice of the Creator, transmitted by heaven and earth, day and night: a language "without words whose sound is heard," capable of crossing all frontiers. ~ Blessed John Paul II

THE GOOD NEWS
Surf Dog Ricochet: The SURFice Dog
 | | Inspirational video - Turning disappointment into joy: From Service Dog to SURFice Dog |
www.SurfDogRicochet.com
There is a new hero on the shores of America the beautiful and she's making waves like none before her. She is RICOCHET the SURFice Dog (as opposed to service dog)!
Ricochet was being trained to become a service dog for the disabled. Her love of chasing birds, running and the sea altered her training. Her career path changed and she became a surfing wonder that has inspired and helped many who have suffered life changing disabilities.
Ricochet has a personal initiative that raises funds for human/animal causes called Surfin' for Paws-abilities.
Ricochet also believes in "pawing it forward" with her annual Pay It Forward Day to inspire millions of acts of kindness.
Ricochet is a hero to CSC and we couldn't finish without giving her handler, David King, of Ocean Healing Group, a tremendous THANK YOU for all the tireless work that he and Ricochet do together.
Consider helping Ricochet out today by making a DONATION to PUPPY PRODIGIES, 501(c)3 non-profit organization that focuses on early puppy development, and service dog training for people with disabilities.
