Seizure-Alert Dogs (Dog Heroes)

Before Alex was paired with Lady, a German shepherd, he never knew when a seizure would strike. Someone had to stay with Alex at all times--he couldn't even watch television by himself. Now, with Lady by his side, Alex knows he will be safe. Lady is a seizure-alert dog. She warns Alex when he's going to have a seizure and comforts him after an attack. Packed with real-life narratives of canine heroes protecting their human partners, Seizure-Alert Dogs covers the training process and shows how these dogs give their owners the confidence they need to live independent lives.
