It really is amazing how dogs sense things.
I was diagnosed with Epilepsy several years back and I was at a candle party in our community and they had a standard size Poodle. The owner let us all know that the dog doesn't go near anyone, but the family. That dog came over to me right away and sat by my side the whole night! The lady asked me if I had any medical conditions and I told her and she said that is the only time she has ever seen the dog go near someone, if they have certain medical conditions.
I hope this brings your son and family alot of joy!
We were actually told by our doctor that Goldens and some other breeds are great at predicting seizures in epileptic patients. My brother has epilepsy, so that would have been beneficial when he was little, and probably would be now.

Thank you everyone! I have already noticed a difference in his ability to empathize. This is one area that Ethan has problems. Already though he has shown concern over Sunny getting hurt. For instance I told him to pull on his collar to get him to go outside because Sunny was scared to go out the slider door. Ethan's eyes got teary and he says "but what if I choke him?" It's really exciting to see this new side of him.
