Surf dog Ricochet will receive the ASPCA "Dog of the Year" award this Thursday, November 17, and will appear LIVE on the Today Show Thursday morning.

A golden retriever that surfs the waves in tandem with disabled human surfers, Ricochet has raised over $125,000 for more than 150 human and animal causes, including childhood special needs, arthritis, breast cancer, canine cancer and of course, animal rescue.

A youtube video of Ricochet surfing with Patrick Ivison and set to the music of 'Do I Make You Proud' by @TaylorRHicks now has more than 3,750,000 views. Watch the video here: http://bit.ly/9jZ5uV

Congratulations, Ricochet and owner Judy!!!
