This was just on a local morning news station in the Twin Cities area. Though it was pretty neat. I hope they're able to train more dogs like this.

Service Dog Stops Seizures for Former Officer

Its actually not that uncommon, the big media story about the boy fighting to bring his SD to school used the same method for seizure control.

I'm curious though, the article doesn't say if the dog is alerting or only responding after the seizure starts. It seems like only after the seizure starts, the way its worded. Seizure alerting cannot be trained and the dog has it or doesn't. They say its about a 50/50 chance that a seizure response dog will develop alerting.
