Seizure-sniffing Brownie Helps Sanders Fight Epilepsy
Sanders, a Cedar Rapids resident, credits his 11 month old Brownie, a Chihuahua mix, with detecting impending seizures and acting to prevent collapse. The dog jumps into his lap, nips fingers, and even attempts to reopen doors to reach him during episodes. Doctors caution the case is rare but note dogs may aid some epileptics. Researchers in New York have surveyed similar dog-assisted seizure responses, though proof remains inconclusive.
