Hero Dog Helps Kids

One of the best parts of writing Pet News and Views is coming across heroes–people and animals who help those in need. I am constantly in awe of the generosity of people in the animal world.

Those of you who read Pet News and Views should remember Judy Fridono and her dog Ricochet, the surfing dog who helps children. Together Judy and Ricochet have raised thousands of dollars to help injured children.

Tissue Alert

Judy sent me this video she made. Warning–you will be moved to happy tears when you watch. You can also join Ricochet’s Facebook fan page.

This is such a touching story, and to see Ricochet with this little child on a surf board is so great. I hope we can have more stories like this.
