Lucas suffers from a syndrome called Sanfilippo which is the absence or malfunctioning of an enzyme needed to break down long sugar molecules. As the dieses persist the child will eventually lose their speech, their ability to walk, and eat. The parents were told to get him a rescue dog but the parents thought it cost to much money for one. So right befor Juno got executed the parents went and bought him which ended up into a mirracle!! This is so sad what to you guys think??
