We had the good fortune of connecting with Judy Fridono and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Judy, what do you attribute your success to?
My success is a team effort between my dog Ricochet, me and the individual we’re working with. The most important factor is that I consider her a partner, and I listen to her. Many people in a human/canine relationship take a leadership role and tell the dog what to do. For me, it’s the opposite. Ricochet leads the charge because she is the one who has the healing power to help kids with special needs and military with PTSD.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?

The partnership we have nurtured throughout our journey. I’m most fulfilled by changing and saving the lives of service members and veterans with PTSD. We got to where we are today by allowing life to lead us. I used to want to control life, but the secret to that is… you can’t control life. So once I went with the flow and look at tragedy and set backs as the door opening to my life purpose.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Ricochet. Without her I can’t do what I do, and without me, she can’t do what she does. Most of the credit goes to Ricochet, the universe and whatever else is leading this dance.
