The seizure dog does not experience seizures daily... the three year old does.
I am sure she will love this dog a lot.

Diagnosed with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex, the 3-year-old experiences seizures daily. The simplest situations can cause her to have a sensory overload, and she requires constant monitoring. There is no cure for the disease.

4 Paws for Ability, a non-profit group in Ohio, trains dogs to distract children from sensory overload and calm them after seizures. Some dogs even detect chemical changes that occur before an event, warning the children to get in a safe location.
