Readers here already know how good dogs are at protecting and (of course) loving us. For those of us who bear the burden of epilepsy, they can help there, too... From ABC news:
A dog may be man's best friend. But for 2 million Americans with epilepsy, that canine companion could also be a lifesaver.That's what a new study suggests, after documenting incidents in which the pets anticipated children's epileptic fits up to five hours before the seizure occurs. The research, published this week in the journal Neurology, found dogs demonstrated protective behaviors such as face licking, whining to alert others, and moving a child away from harm when suffering seizures near stair landings or furniture.
