Service dog ‘graduates’ alongside owner at New Jersey university

This is the moment a service dog “graduated” from a university in New Jersey alongside his owner.

Justin had accompanied Batchelor of Science in Education graduate Grace Mariani to all her classes as she studied for her degree at Seton Hall.

The labrador joined his owner on stage for her graduation ceremony to rapturous applause.

Justin even got a certificate of his own, proudly carrying it in his mouth.

Mariani graduated magna cum laude (with great distinction), with a degree enabling her to teach elementary and special education.
