Natural Talent
Buster took to surfing immediately. His balance was remarkable, and his anxiety melted away on the waves. He became a different dog.
Going Viral
A video of Buster surfing gained millions of views. He's now a certified therapy dog who visits hospitals and schools, spreading joy wherever he goes.
The Lesson
"Every dog has something special," Sarah says. "You just have to give them the chance to find it."
