context_page_description: A seizure response dog is a dog demonstrating specific assisting behaviour during or immediately after a person's epileptic seizure or other seizure
  . When reliably trained such dogs can serve as service dogs for people with epilepsy. Tasks for seizure dogs may include, but are not limited to:
  Find someone to help
  Activate an emergency response system
  Stimulate a person to help them "wake up" after a seizure
  Use body weight to keep the person in a specific position
  Act as a brace to help the person up
  Retrieve a phone or medication
  Physically remove the patient from an unsafe situation
  A dog demonstrating specific behaviour prior to a persons epileptic seizure is also referred to as seizure alert dog. Reports suggest that some dogs can be trained to anticipate epileptic seizures. However, this ability has been questioned.
  Seizure response and seizure alerting behaviour may spontaneously develop in dogs living with children and adults with epilepsy.
