CONT

Not only did Seiko, a seizure alert dog, protect Sue during a seizure, but amazingly he could predict when a seizure was about to happen, giving Sue lots of notice to get herself to a safe place. In the nine years that Seiko was with Sue, he saved her life countless times, including pushing a button in their home that linked directly to medical help.
