How Super Corgi Jojo Overcame Tragedy to Become a Surfing Champion

Super Corgi Jojo has a special bond with water. The adrenaline chasing Corgi’s love for catching a good wave has strengthened, healed, and even made him a social media super star. But Jojo’s story doesn’t start at the beach. Early in his life, he was severely injured in an attack by two vicious dogs while with his human, Josephine Zosa. They both received injuries but the doctors weren’t sure if Jojo would make it.

We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster.

“The dogs were large and ferocious and attacked Jojo and I. I escaped with only stitches, but Jojo needed surgery to survive. My husband and I spent the money we were going to have a wedding with to save Jojo’s life. It took weeks of healing, but Jojo could barely walk.”

After healing came aqua therapy but the medical costs kept increasing. Soon, Jojo’s parents realized they would get the same results from the ocean, and Super Corgi Jojo was born.

“One day at the beach, my husband got tired from swimming, so he put Jojo on the surfboard while they were out in the water. “A wave came, and Jojo took it all the way to the sand!”
