In case you are not familiar with this story: A terminally-ill child is missing his service dog because she's battling her own severe illness at a local vet. Lucas Hembree's father rescued Belgian Malinois Juno from euthanasia at a shelter two years ago. Now she's a vital part of the family, credited with saving the little boy's life several times by detecting oncoming seizures.
Lucas, 5, has a rare genetic disorder called Sanfilippo Syndrome. Some people refer to it as childhood dementia. Most patients are in a vegetative state by their eighth birthday, which is why getting Juno better and back by Lucas's side is so important.
