This inspirational video is about surf dog Ricochet, the SURFice dog who has raised over $30,000 for charitable causes.  The video is about the healing power of the ocean & the healing power of a dog.  

In this video, she’s helping Ian, a six year old boy who suffered a brain injury in a horrific car accident that claimed the lives of his parents.  Ian used to surf with his dad, but after the injury was somewhat scared to get back on a surfboard.  This video shows how Ricochet turned his fear into excitement… and how he got back on a surfboard and surfed with her! She also raised over $7000 for his rehabilitation.
