“This dog has been my whole entire life these last 5 years and has taught me more than I can even put into words.

“Juno taught me how to love and open my heart she taught me how to be patient and what responsibility truly means. She also taught me the biggest gift of all, how to be Present.

“She came into my life when my Dad died, she was with me through my whole sobriety journey and even through the ups and downs of my business journey. Juno was my soul mate, my shadow and my best friend.

“My happy place really was just me and her on our long walks and nothing made me happier than seeing her paddle in water. It will always be my happiest memory of her.”

Scott then outlined the health battles Juno has been through over the years.

“She definitely didn’t have it easy with arthritis in her legs and hips, major surgery on her leg and then being diagnosed with fatal and kidney problems all under the age of 5.

“But no matter what she battled through right till the end and never left her famous Juno spark.

“She touched so many lives and everybody she met fell in love with her. Thank you to everyone whoever loved her and followed her journey on here as well.

“In the end her heart gave in but I’m so grateful she didn’t seem to be in any pain in her final stages with her meds keeping her stable”.

Scott emotionally concluded: “I can’t explain the pain I’m feeling right now it really is heartbreaking as any dog owner will know.

“But I just know she came in to my life for a reason. She made me the strongest man I’ve ever been and blessed me with nothing but happiness.

“She even stuck around until I found my to make sure I was safe.

“The timing of all this is crazy especially with her passing on the first day of the Year of the Horse, but I truly believe she was making way for me to soar this year and I will take her energy with me everywhere I go.

“You will always be with me Baby Juno, your heart will always be my heart. Wherever you are now do what you loved the most and RUN LIKE THE WIND”.
