A dog with a bizarre love of surfing is using her skills as a form of therapy for war veterans, children and the disabled.
Golden retriever Ricochet was originally turned down as a guide dog as she kept chasing birds so owner Judy Fridono tried to find another way she could help people.
And when she discovered her pet's hidden talent she realised it could help cheer up those less fortunate.
Owner Judy Fridono took her to the beach near their Del Mar home in California, USA, where Richochet opted to do more than just doggy paddle.
After proving to be a natural on a board, she decided to share her dogs skills with others.
