This is amazing. Tears of joy are rolling down my face. This year in honor of my friend Kristen that passed away, my friends and I volunteered at a surf camp that she was a part of, helping children with autism surf. I felt like Ricochet that day. What an amazing dog!

Sune Guna (Spiritual Healing)

Wow, what a beautiful story and video! The message is so powerful and inspiring. In accepting others (whether people or pets) just as they are and letting go of our expectations, we allow them to flourish and be who they are meant to be. And in doing so, we discover their incredible inner beauty and greatness. Thank you for sharing this life changing message!

Wow, Great Work. Training really needs understanding their thought process and matching a thought process of animals require lot of patience, hard work & love for them.

Great work on the dog. Great video showing the potential of the four legged ones. Great messages contained in this video for the two legged ones as well. Great example on many fronts. Thank you for this wonderful positive post.

Thats really great. I definitely learn a lot of things. We need to brush up our own instinct. That's really a great lesson for me. Thanks a lot.

Beautiful lesson in being -- there is a story I love about all the forest animals learning to be called "let the rabbitts run" -- Life is about giving to our fellow living being our gifts that we have been given out of love and in service. Great job bringing it home with this video.

Guest Diana

I haven't seen Ricochet at Del Mar dog beach yet, but I will keep an eye out for her. Great stuff.

Lauren

I am in the middle of learning a way of dealing with the world in a way that enhances my life as well as my relationship with others. We need to be reminded that everything we need to lead a constructive and creative life is inside us. Ricochet and Patrick are a true inspiration that anything is possible and that there are no limitations within our hearts and spirits. Love and Light

i love the video is very ok and great

Guest Abundant Robert AWOLUGUTU

Thank you for this life transforming video. One success principle I have gleaned from the video is this: We should give our energy and attention to those things we can do best and forget about what we cannot do. Everything God created has a purpose. We should keep searching for the true purpose everything we see around us.Nothing was ever created for nothing. Thank you for the good work.

Ron Marriott

I'm sitting in my beat-up body after 23 surgeries and the loss of my wonderful body and life God gave me and finally remembered that I had a purpose in life, To find and recreate a new energy source from lightning. Rid the planet of oil and nuclear. I FORGOT WHY I WAS HERE! I remembered and I'm in the process of telling my story to the papers and TV soon. I had a dog like this one who made so happy, he rode motorcycles and surfed with me dove underwater after fish a great friend for me and just a loving heart to have around. Play play play. This video REALLY hit me right. Thanks God for a wonderful life!

Mary Hofstetter

As a former spec. ed teacher I was greatly touched. I have shared it with members of my on-line community where many handicapped are trying to make a living after being forced to make a career change. Being an advocate for the handicapped was my first career and now I am an advocate for those suffering with arthritis and its many forums with my on line business. Thank you, I have put this on my favorites and will watch this often to inspire me.

Kari Farmer

Very inspirational and uplifting. Just what I needed today.

Paola Bolzan (Self Realization)

This happens also with people: if we look at the positive aspects instead of being worried or angry about the negative aspects, so many things can change and really happen.

"This is a question about: Do I make you more thsn proud?" there is usually some ways to give people around us feel and act better. Ricochet beautifully shows this reality, Amazing!

Leila

The sight of a surfing dog is something else. Very moving. Thanks.

Great reminder that when we have someone who recognizes our gifts and strengths, we can truly make a difference while loving our life. Two hands clapping loudly for the trainer/owner who transformed her goals and vision for this amazing animal. And even bigger picture, what a message to all of us from Patrick to set aside fears or stories about why we can't and say yes I can. Awesome video!

Guest

I couldn't see the video. The message was "Sony Music Entertainment blocked it form your country due to copyright issues" Shouldn't your site have solved these issues before posting a video and sending e-mails?

Chuck Jackson
