However, during his recovery in the hospital, he was accompanied by a golden retriever named Gabe.

The less he uses a wheelchair, the more he needs help with small tasks.

The dog did more than just help him. He quickly proved to be a source of emotional support and friendship.
«He’s with me all day, every day.»
The dog had a huge impact not only on Justin but also on his longtime girlfriend Carol.

«You have to make sure that the support dog is always happy and that she will always love the person she is with.» «Justin came into the room when they met, Gabe was moving and crying and rolling on the floor.»

So when Justin and Carroll got married, Gabe had to be present at the ceremony.

“He goes where I go,” Justin said. “She is there to help me emotionally when I need it. Why should a wedding be different?
