This is Justin Scott. He is a good man who is always doing everything in his power to help others. This is why he is a trained EMT (Emergency Medical Technician). On the downside of things, the job of an EMT is quite stressful and it can take a toll on anyone’s mind.

Sadly, Justin’s best friend that he had since childhood passed away during a mission. This didn’t just broke the man’s heart, it made him feel like he didn’t have anyone else to count on and things were not looking great from a mental health point of view.

Justin always wanted to get a puppy but his girlfriend, Sara, had a better idea. She told Justin that since he wants to get a dog, he might as well get a service dog that is trained to make him feel better and deal with emotional stress.

Finding Shelby in the big woods was proving to be more difficult than expected. Justin spent three days nonstop running through to the forest but to no avail. As you can probably imagine, he was sad about this and he couldn’t simply leave the woods and go back home.
