Hosted by Lauren Farricker.   In this episode, Lauren chats with Judy Fridono who is the mom to @surfdogricochet and the founder of Puppy Prodigies and Ricochet’s Guardian.  We also chat with Persons Griffith “Griff” United States Marine Corps Staff Sergeant.   Griff served two combat tours in Afghanistan within the Marine Corps. When he arrived home to civilian life he developed anxiety and was dealing with symptoms of PTSD. Griff is one of hundreds of thousands of veterans in the US dealing with this affliction. Griff participated in a program in San Diego through the VA which paired therapy dogs with veterans to help them cope with their symptoms and assimilation back into life. The Naval Medical Center San Diego offers a program called Pawsitive Teams that Judy and Ricochet volunteered at. Griff’s life was changed by a golden retriever named Ricochet.    Ricochet is a therapy dog, surfing champion, and works with children with special needs and helps them through surfing in her hometown of San Diego.   We are discussing the healing powers of dogs, their experience being featured in the new IMAX film Superpower Dogs, chatting about how veterans can discover similar programs to support in their healing and the realities of life for veterans.   Please rate, share and subscribe to The Woof Life Show!
