A dog named "Ricochet" has been called a "Superpower dog" for the reason that she has been helping children and soldiers recover from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other disabilities. Ricochet has been doing wonders as people have built a connection with this dog, and in some miraculous way, have gotten over their fears and anxieties even for just a little while.
Ricochet is a "Superpower Dog" as she has the ability to connect emotionally on a personal level to people with mental disorders especially those with anxiety and autism. In addition to that, she is a surfing dog, and because of this, children are inspired by her to do things that they think are incapable of doing.
For people who have experiences with Ricochet, they say that even when you put Ricochet in a room filled with hundreds of people with only one suffering from anxiety, Ricochet would still be able to identify that one person. It is amazing how this dog can help identify people and at the same time help them go through whatever it is that they are going.
According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, PTSD is a serious condition that can occur in people who have witnessed traumatic events such as war and sudden death. While many people just immediately recover after seeing them, people afflicted with PTSD, however, would still be depressed and may experience several attacks after months or even years.
It is no wonder that dogs can contribute greatly to mental health as men and dogs have been known to live for over 15,000 years together. In an academic study published, it points out that there has been an enormous amount of positive consequences for pet ownership - most especially for dogs.
Because of that, it is no wonder that kids who have been going through a lot respond positively to Ricochet as she helps them move on from the pain and lighten the burden. Indeed, Ricochet has the right to be called a "Superpower Dog."
