Have You Heard of Seizure Alert Dogs?

First I’ve heard of it.  At first they are protective and provide a constant watch, later they can detect oncoming seizues - which is pretty amazing.

    I’ve heard of them and just last week, in Boston, I met one at the local pet shop. It was so cool to hear the owner explain how the dog can detect a seizure up to 45 minutes in advance!

    Yep. First heard of it several years ago thorugh a realted topic. A friend’s brother was conducting research at UPenn on using dogs to detect cancer through their sense of smell.
