Here is a very special video for all you dog lovers out there. There is a lesson to learn from this very endearing video about a golden retriever named Ricochet. Many parents tend to “promote” certain careers for children and even help them financially to ensure they finish what they started. While parents may have good intentions, in the end, they may be distressed to learn that their children want to pursue something else in life that is quite different from what they had in mind. Remember, your children may be better-off pursuing other honest to goodness work to earn a living if that is what they enjoy doing and if they are happier for it.
Please, consider Ricochet who started out as a service dog and who found her true vocational calling in life as a “Charity Surfer” once she gained her independence and the freedom to choose. God Bless all the animals that live amongst us. They provide us with company and sometimes laughter too. So, be kind to our furry friends and let us all be a little bit more compassionate and understanding with our children and let them choose their own vocation(s) in life.
