Heart failure patients who spent 12 minutes with a dog or cat had lower stress hormone levels, lower blood pressure levels, and a general brighter outlook about their recovery.

From Service dog to SURFice dog!
Join Ricochet on Facebook! www.facebook.com - Kleenex alert! Each person who watches this inspirational video finds an individual message that touches them on many levels, & brings them to tears. It's about acceptance, adjusting expectations, & focusing on the "can do's" in life which allows for a celebration of amazing outcomes. Ricochet is an internationally renowned champion surf dog at the center of media attention, who has become an inspirational phenomenon, motivational role model, internet sensation, fundraising marvel, goodwill ambassador, and muse to millions! This video depicts her journey from birth to 15 months of age, as she goes through her service dog training, which is cut short due to her propensity to chase birds. Her role changed to SURFice dog & she started to fundraise for quadriplegic surfer, Patrick Ivison, who she met the night before this video was filmed. The intention was for the two of them to surf a wave together on their own surfboards. At one point, when they surfed into shore, Ricochet jumped off her board, and onto Patrick's. It was her decision to surf tandem with him! Once the video went viral, she turned it into a platform to help more people/animals & she's raised over $53000 in the last year. She promotes kindness, charity, philanthropy, and social responsibility, such as her video about anti-bullying "You're amazing just the way you are!"

And Mr. Rufus...He is one incredible PITBULL!!! I just sat in awe as I went through his 800+ pictures and then had to make the awful decision on which pictures i was going to use in the video.. I WANTED TO USE THEM ALL but then it would have ended up being a 4 hour video and that's something i have not tackled....YET! :) I know alot of hearts are going to be missing all the comforting visits from Rufus..He has touched so many...From small children to the wonderful ladies and gentlemen at the hospitals and nursing homes.... He has devoted 5 1/2 years to giving hope, companionship and love to so so many people... Thank you Rufus and thank you Maryellen for raising such a wonderful guy.. RUFUS- YOU ROCK!!!!!!

Delta Society Beyond Limits Awards - Monica Payson & Marley
MONICA PAYSON, Seattle, WA and her partner, 7-year-old Marley, a Bullmastiff, are one of five finalist teams for the Delta Society's 2007 Beyond Limits Award as Pet Partners Team of the Year. They visit in a number of challenging environments. With the trust and communication between Monica and the large, powerful Marley setting the tone, they began making a difference in the lives of abused and emotionally disturbed children aged 3-18. These children are often in residential treatment settings, and they are usually behaviorally and emotionally unpredictable, facing challenges such as ADD and ADHD as well. Monica and Marley help the children learn impulse control and respect for boundaries, as they provide a positive model of non-coercive interaction. They have had many major breakthroughs with previously unreachable youngsters. Three years ago, Monica and Marley were part of a pilot program in the King County Prosecutor's office to help interview child assault victims. The study led to the Prosecutor's office eventually adopting their own dog for that purpose. Two years later, Marley became the first dog in the Washington State Critical Incident Stress Management Network, and will be among the first responders to future disasters. To vote for any of the five finalists, log on to www.deltasociety.org before November 5. Videos of all five finalists (Sarah Allen, Maggie Crawford, Connie Gates, Monica Payson, Karla Rose) can be viewed on YouTube.
