Dr. Scott, AKA the barefoot vet,was recently diagnosed with a fatal cancer and just five days prior heard the great news that his Nat Geo Wild reality TV show, "The Aloha vet" was renewed for a second season where Scott wishes to advocate for quality over quantity of life along with the shows regular format.

The write-up by TGI staff writer Brittany Lyte was so well written along with great subject matter, it is no surprise it went viral on the Internet.
With all that kind of love from all over the world acknowledging this man of honor and integrity, I just can't imagine some kind of miracle for one of Kauai's most admired and treasured residents.

"Mahalo for sharing this with us Kimo. We shared the article on our facebook page and it reached 5,000 people with more than 400 clicking on the story link.
We were on the show with our dog, Milo the Hawaiian Surfing Pomeranian. Like others, our hearts broke when we heard the news.
We send Scott healing energy and hope he will receive the same great treatment he's given countless others.
Hope you're well...
Aloha, Heather and Keoni
Unreal, the outpouring of love for such a great guy.
Yes, I saw the surfing dog on TV, too cool! 😉 I pray every morning, and always say a healing prayer for Dr. Scott too!
Aloha,
Please let Dr. Scott know he is in the prayers of many of us. We put him on the Prayer Wheel and pray for a
full recovery.

He is the "jewel" of Kauai! If love, admiration & prayer can truly "heal" the physical body, Dr. Scott will be well in no time
