Dogs predict epileptic seizures and warn owners

A-Jay is Mrs Brown-Griffin's second seizure alert dog and since having him her seizures have reduced in frequency due to her being more relaxed with the dog to support her, whilst the effects of the seizures when they do come are mitigated by the forewarning A-Jay provides.
"He licks my left hand obsessively fifty minutes before a major seizure and for a minor seizure he gives me fifteen minutes warning, licking my left hand three times before pawing at me."
This gives Mrs Brown-Griffin time to get to a place of safety if it's a major seizure and to sit down and let a minor one pass.
For Toni Brown-Griffin it doesn't matter how her seizure alert dog A-Jay senses her seizures, it just matters that he does.
"He's a hundred percent accurate," she said. "He doesn't miss seizures and that's given me a lot of confidence."
