A service dog named Justin received a diploma at Seton Hall University's graduation ceremony in New Jersey for attending all of his owner Grace Mariani's classes. The labrador-golden retriever mix wore a blue mortar board and matching Class of 2023 bandana as he walked across the stage and grabbed the diploma with his mouth while accompanying Mariani, who crossed the stage in a motorized wheelchair. Justin has learned over 45 tasks to help Mariani become more independent, and she graduated with a bachelor of science degree in education.
