WOW!!

Bugsy you are such a good boy! Helping your momma and you dad to wake up and do something about your mom's respiration it's really a heroic thing. I'm sure your mom is proud and more happy than ever to have you in her life.

Karen, I hope you are feeling better, from one asthmatic to another, I know how bad and scarry it is. Be very careful about those crisis while sleeping, you should be aware of what is causing it and try to fix it. One big hug for you and a cascade of kisses for Mr. B.

I'm glad you're alright and hope that never happens again. I've heard stories like this before; where the dog didn't have any special training but knew what to do to help his owner. They have amazing instincts. Good boy Bugsy!!!!!!

Wouldn't be the same around here without your mama!

Gosh Candace don't write me off just yet

And although I am super proud I don't think it's like Jasmine and Bonita, detecting seizures before they happen - my oh my oh my!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He did back in March nudge at me and lick me when I blacked out from using my inhaler and holding my breath too long - Yes I am an idiot! I am new to asthma (thank you North Carolina) and am not used to thinking about these things and have no idea where last night's attack came from, I have been just fine of late. I am really glad that he recognizes distress and that he tries to help.

CoBuHe - I have known he is MY dog since we met him. He is my heart dog, for real and I pray everyday that he lives a long life!

Way to go Bugsy !! I am not amazed only happy he was there for you . My Jasmine alerted 6 times when I was driving and about to have a seizure. After the first time she would keep a close eye on me scenting my face and breath. She got so good at it she alerted as much as 20 minutes prior my seizing. I was taking a great deal of meds at the time and two of them were causing the seizures. Her son alerted on an epilpeptic and his own owner who after confiding he had never had a dog get in his face this way was convinced by his wife ..after my phone call...to go to the doctor.. 2 days later he had a Quad By pass ! Dogs are amazing !!

Karen, glad you are ok! GO BUGSY!!!!! You are DA MAN!

Dogs are amazing creatures. Didn't someone post here (or was it another board) about their dog sensing and issue with a total stranger? How they know! I saw on TV a woman who had epilepsy and her dog could sense an attack coming on and get her to take her meds. How would you train for that or is it just instinct? AMAZING and Bugsy you are in that crowd.

I'm so glad that you are ok and didn't have to go to the hospital and I hope that your "hangover" doesn't last too long.

Bugsy is an amazing dog and has proved that once again! He deserves all the steak a la mole that he wants today!
