    This kid lost his parents instantly and still had to recover from a brain injury without them. My mother had a stroke that paralyzed the entire right side of her body. The mental therapy, the physical therapy, the waiting. None of it was easy, he's a very strong young man indeed

    This literally brought me to tears after seeing this whole video. I'm VERY proud of Ian. I know that he was scared of going back into the ocean to surf, but then Ricochet came into his life and brought back his courage to surf with her.

      Strong men don't mind showing their emotions and feelings it's the weak ones that act like they have an ego

    Seems silly but maybe Ian's dad came down to Ricochet in the only way he could to help Ian.
    Definitely heaven sent.

    Both of them are so sweet! Animals help so much! A horse encouraged me to get rid of my cane and walk independently by walking her without my cane and hanging onto her. Now I walk all by myself and it’s quite exciting.
    Hopefully Ian will get there one day! Dogs are truly amazing.

But a great ending & a BIG high five to all family, friends & caregivers who stepped in to help Ian with Richochet and his recovery. Animals & humans together make great connections! Thanx DoDo, you rock!

    Ian, even though handicapped, has achieved so many wonderful dreams and he is such a great example to the world. He has triumphed in the face of disaster. Ian's positive outlook should be a lesson to all. May God and all of the Angels in Heaven (especially, his Parents) watch over Ian, in everything he accomplishes. Ian is an inspiration for everyone and Ricochet is a pretty amazing surfing dog too. Glad they were there to support each other!!!
