Justin Greenway has Autism and ADHD, and his parents believe that "having a service dog will help Justin refrain from engaging in disruptive or potentially dangerous behaviors, calm down when he is upset and cannot express why, learn how to socialize and reciprocate appropriate behavior, and remain safe," the page says.

Justin's school held a "Jeans for Justin" day last week, with all proceeds going toward his cause.
