This is truly amazing and inspirational.
Ricochet was born and raised to be a service dog, but because of a love of chasing birds, she had to be released from the program.
Soon, she found a new love, surfing. Now she is part of an organization that helps raise money for charities. One of her most touching moments was being able to work with quadriplegic surfer Patrick, riding tandem with him and raising funds for his medical expenses.
With Ricochets help, enough money was raised for Patrick to recieve three years worth of physical therapy. As a result, he took some of his first steps!
Not only does Ricochet send a great message to Patrick and others to not worry about who you are, she is a perfect example of being what you love.
She was raised to be a service dog but that wasn’t what she was meant to do! Now she surfs to raise money, clearly enjoying being in the water and on a board.
Follow your heart to find your purpose!
