My aunt works as an ER nurse, and she had a patient once who had epilepsy. They had a service dog, a doberman, who would help the patient whenever they had a seizure. Unfortunately the patient passed away, and they were going to give the dog to the shelter until my aunt offered to take her in. Poppy, the sweetest doberman anyone could ask for, thinks of herself as a lapdog despite her 100+ pounds. She's about 10 years old, so needs help whenever she want's to hop on the couch. I'll post a picture of her when I can.
