I had a service dog that knew when I was going to have a seizure. She would sleep with me and make sure that I was alright while I was sleeping. She was great in public and on busses. I also had a cat that knew when I was going to have a seizure and would go and get my mother. My service dog is the dog in the picture with me. Her name was Stormie.

I don't know about a service dog, but I am thinking about getting a dog for company. I thought a dog was always kept outside, but a friend told me that they can really help with depression and anxiety.
