As the gavel came down, signaling the end of the session, Isla stood, her small stature belying the strength she had shown. Moose followed her lead, his role as her protector and confidant unwavering.

For Isla, this was more than just a courtroom victory. It was a moment where her voice, strengthened by the presence of her loyal companion, had been heard and believed. As she left the courtroom, hand in hand with her foster parents and Moose by her side, it was clear that she had taken an important step toward reclaiming her life.
