Ricochet was trained as a service dog but she was not placed because she likes to chase little animals, critters, squirrels. 跳跳曾被训练为服务犬，但她还没有正式上岗，因为她喜欢追逐小动物，例如小松鼠。 She would not make it as a service dog, but she also surfs. So, she surfs with people who have disabilities. So now I call her 'a surface dog'. 她无法成为服务犬，但她会冲浪。她会与残疾人士一同冲浪。现在我叫她“冲浪犬”。 She was eight weeks old. I had her in a kiddie pool and there was a boogie board and I kind of tapped it to invite her on it and she climbed on and had really good balance. 她当时才八周大。我把她放在一个儿童泳池里，泳池里有一块冲浪板，我轻轻拍了拍冲浪板，示意她爬上去，她就爬了上去，而且平衡感非常好。 So, from that I just continued playing around with it. I lay on the board and she stands behind me. 从此以后我就一直跟她这么玩儿。我躺在趴板上，跳跳站在我身后， There's a pusher, you know, another individual that will push them into the wave and Ricochet is really good at balancing the board for Hunter and in the beginning of his surfing that he needed that. I'm the only one who surfs in the family. 趴板后面有一个推手，他会把他们推到浪中，跳跳真的很擅长给亨特保持平衡，他初次冲浪真的很需要这样的帮助。我是家里唯一会冲浪的人。 There's a lot of trust that goes on with it, a lot of empowerment, especially kids with autism that don't get to really do anything on their own. 这其中蕴含着大量的信任和极大的自主空间，尤其是对自闭症儿童而言，他们通常无法真正独立完成任何事情。 There's usually supervision, but when they're in the water with Ricochet, they feel in control. 通常都会有监督员，但是在水里和跳跳在一起，他们会觉得自己完全能掌控。 And I always say to them, "Thank you for teaching my dog how to surf." 我总是对他们说：“谢谢你们教会我的狗狗冲浪。” So, they feel like they're the ones helping the dog instead. And it's just such an empowering feeling for the child. 他们反而觉得自己是在帮助狗狗。这对于孩子来说是一个赋能的过程。 I'm Staff Sergeant Persons Griffith and I'm a PTSD awareness advocate. 我是上士珀森斯·格里菲思，是创伤后应激障碍宣传者。 How was it? It's good. It's nice having her out there. It helps. When I met Ricochet, that was one of the more significant overwhelming moments in my life. 感觉怎么样？挺好的。有她真好。很有帮助。遇到跳跳是我人生中的重要时刻。 I was having a really hard time and so I finally had a breakthrough and I realized how PTSD was affecting me. Ricochet was like a mirror for me. 我当时真的过得很艰难，后来我终于有了突破，意识到创伤后应激障碍对我产生了怎样的影响。跳跳对我来说就像一面镜子。 You can't hide things from her. So, she already knows exactly what's going on. 你不能对她隐瞒任何事情。她已经完全清楚发生了什么事。 And she just kind of reaches into your soul and pulls it out in front of you and says, you know, brings it to your attention and says, you know, this is what's going on. 她就好像能把你的灵魂拽到你面前，让你看清楚自己的模样，然后说，这就是正在发生的事情。 This is how you really feel. Let's deal with this. Let's accept it. Let's talk about it. 这就是你真正的感受，让我们一起解决，一起接受，让我们谈一谈。 After I got divorced, I moved down to Carlsbad to live with my parents and kind of recover from the divorce and the PTSD from the divorce. 离婚后，我搬到卡尔斯巴德和父母同住，想从离婚和离婚后的创伤后应激障碍中恢复过来。 And we had physical abuse in that, you know, we had like the emotional abuse, all that abuse. So, I was kind of broken. 我曾经遭遇过家暴，还有情感上的虐待。我有点崩溃了。 When I met Ricochet, I felt like she really was like the glue that put my soul, my soul was broken and she put those pieces back together again and helped me rebuild my soul and rebuild my being. 当我遇到跳跳时，我觉得她像胶水一样把我残缺不堪的灵魂重新拼凑起来，帮我重塑了灵魂，重建了自我。 Sometimes she's very assertive as far as like she sticks her nose on you. She, earlier today, she paws at you because she knows like okay, you need to just stop. 有时她非常有主见，就好像她会对你刨根问底。她今天早些时候，会用爪子扒拉你，因为她觉得你需要慢下来了。 Look in my eyes, relax. And she just relieves like that stress or anxiety that you might have. 仿佛在说，放松，看着我的眼睛。她会减轻你身上的压力或者焦虑。 And what I label Ricochet as is emotional rescue. So, she connects with people instantly and goes very deep into their soul with what she can pick up from them. 我认为跳跳拥有感情救赎的能力。她能立刻与人建立联系，并凭借从他们身上捕捉到的信息深入到他们的灵魂深处。 And then she alerts and responds to whatever that emotion is. It's something that is instinctual. I didn't teach it to her. 然后她会察觉到这种情绪并做出相应的反应。这是一种本能反应。我并没有教过她。 So, it's been a progression of growth, of me learning more about what dogs are capable of. So, the biggest thing is me listening to her. 这是一个不断成长的过程，是我更多地了解狗能做什么的过程。最重要的是我要倾听她的想法。 Ricochet's the type of dog that needs human interaction. She's 12-and-a-half. 跳跳是那种需要与人类互动的狗。她已经十二岁半了。 So, I was afraid that after two months of not being with people, that she would check out and her life would end sooner than it should. 我担心两个月不和人交往会让她感到不适，进而导致她过早死亡。 So, after two months, I thought a lot and did a lot of research and decided that the benefit far outweighs the risk to meet with people one-on-one. We call them house calls or curbside comfort. 两个月后，我想了很多，也做了很多研究，最终认定，与人们一对一见面利大于弊。我们称之为上门服务或路边安慰。
