Dog helps create song for music composer

From the Surf Dog Ricochet team:

"I Am Here For You" is a musical collaboration between the Laurel Canyon Animal Company and, Surf Dog Ricochet.

Skip Haynes and Dana Walden utilized the services of Animal Communicator, Paula Brown. They turned Paula's "reading" of Ricochet into a song which was played for Ricochet. Based on the dog's responses to the song as translated by Paula, the final adjusted song was finished utilizing the talents of vocalist Donna Delory - who was also approved by Ricochet.

This is one of the changes requested by Ricochet that most struck us. There was a line in the song that stated, "This is my song" and Ricochet told us that this was not a song, it was her soul. We made the appropriate changes.

A significant portion of the profits from "I Am Here For You" are donated to Ricochet's non-profit organization Puppy Prodigies neonatal & early learning program.

Puppy Prodigies prepares dogs such as Ricochet for their future careers as service dogs. The Laurel Canyon Animal Company is proud to have their music support Puppy Prodigies to help animals and humans.

"I Am Here For You" is the first in a new series about service dogs: Therapy dogs, War dogs, Police Dogs, etc. We hope you enjoy the music and help us support the causes the animals represent.
