Dog Who Changed Everything For A Little Boy Reunites With Him Years Later | This golden retriever loves to surf - and when she met a little boy named Ian who'd been in a terrible accident, Ricochet helped him get back on a surfboard and start to enjoy the world again. Today on Reunited, it's been 10 years since the accident, and Ian can't wait to see the dog who changed his life. Ricochet's reaction when she sees him after all these years is SO moving. To keep up with Ricochet, you can follow @Surf Dog Ricochet ( / surfdogricochet !

That poor kid. I dont think I will ever complain about my life again. Orphaned at 5 with such a close bond to his dad like that. What a strong young man.

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

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.

as someone who also went through a traumatic experience as a kid (not nearly the same experience, im simply just trying to state that lots of things go on everyday and lots of kids actually go through a hard time, not take away from ian’s experience) but having a dog (not a service dog, but just a pet) but that companion can help so much when someone is going through a hard time. i did the math and ian is only like a year younger/right around the same age as me! i wish him the best because while i know our experiences are no where near the same but i just hope he’s feeling as good as he can and that he gets through all this!
