seizure dog
Canine medical alert
A seizure dog is a service animal trained to assist people with epilepsy or other seizure disorders.
Some detect oncoming seizures before they occur, giving their owner time to reach safety or take medication.
Others are trained to respond during a seizure—fetching help, activating an alert system, or positioning themselves to prevent injury.
