This Seizure-Alert Dog Gives Her Owner Warning Before An Attack So She Can Be Safe

August 23, 2015

Poppy gave her owner Shannon, who has epilepsy, 15 minutes warning before this seizure started. Shannon then got herself to a safe place and set up her camera. Before Poppy came along, Shannon had no warning and would take hours to come around.

Poppy licks her mouth excessively for two reasons: To help Shannon come around quicker and to lick away excess saliva to help prevent her from choking.
