It isn't too often that I come across videos of people having seizures, especially those showing a seizure dog doing its' job. This one called to me.

Soon after Weslee's epilepsy diagnosis, we tried the dog route. Beautiful white lab that Weslee named Krypto. He got a little bit of training before he came to us but just didn't really help. It was frustrating.
When Krypto started having seizures himself, I began to think maybe that was why he didn't / couldn't alert: he had his own to deal with.When Weslee and I moved from Colorado to Kentucky a few years ago, we gave K-Dog to a wonderful woman whose daughter passed from SUDEP (Sudden Unexplained Death from EPilepsy). She kept us up to date on his health and life. K-Dog recently passed.
We have been pet free since we moved here. I can't handle the responsibility (and cost) right now, and there aren't many people who would / could come by to feed and walk when we are at the hospital (for Weslee or for me).
(Same reasoning why we don't have chickens or quail right now.)
