Back in May 2022, Blair told PEOPLE that Scout has allowed her to get "a lot of independence" since receiving her Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis in 2018.

"He's with me all the time. If I fall into a big [muscle] spasm or have some trouble moving and need to recalibrate, he can get between my legs, help me get up, and balance me," she shared. "It's given me a lot of independence."
