Ricochet : riding a wave of hope with the dog who inspires millions / by Fridono, Judy,author.(CARDINAL)407272; Pfaltz, Kay,author.(CARDINAL)663362;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 261-265).Foreword / by W. Bruce Cameron -- Prologue -- Introduction -- The catalyst -- Loss and fear -- Loss and fear interrupted -- The birth: the universe delivers -- Que será, será -- Expectations: control creates separation - Acceptance: releasing the spirit -- The rebirth: the splendor of surrender -- Goodness always prevails -- Turning tragedy to triumph -- Everything happens for a reason - Divine intervention: protected by angels -- Empowerment: finding a voice in a language left unspoken -- Empathy, intuition, and communicating from the heart -- Service and self-sacrifice -- Sacred journey -- The perfect wave."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 takes readers behind the TV and video sensation and shares the true journey that went from promise to disappointment before ultimately finding life's purpose. The gorgeous golden retriever Ricochet seemed destined to be a service dog from the moment she was born. She approached her training with boundless energy and surpassed every other dog in her Puppy Prodigy training class. Unfortunately, her love for chasing birds could prove dangerous, for those she would assist. Fifteen months into her training, Ricochet was released, leaving a frustrated owner and a dog without a direction. Yet through a twist of fate, Judy realized that flunking out of school wasn't the end of the world--and in fact, could be the beginning of a new one. Once Judy learned to let go and let Ricochet be who she really was, they found her true calling as a SURFice dog. Ricochet's story is one of synchronicity, our interconnectedness, and opening ourselves to life's 'paws'ibilities. Embracing her true calling, Ricochet began to help others, including those with traumatic brain injuries, post-traumatic stress, and physical disabilities, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for charitable causes and inspiring people to believe in themselves. Ricochet does more than steady the board: she offers hope, comfort, healing, and a reason to keep fighting.What gives this story such extraordinary potential to become a publishing sensation? Ricochet is the only SURFice dog in the world, there is no other story quite like it!"--Provided by publisher.
