Always Wanted To Meet A Hero? Check Out This Brave Pup's Story And You'll Love Him

Pups have incredibly sharp senses, and these senses don’t just help them out in their own lives. Sometimes, those extra abilities can even save the lives of other around them. That’s what Dopey is able to do for this family.

Britton is 12 years old and was diagnosed with Dravet Syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy, at three months old. His parents had their hands full keeping their eyes on him, but three years ago, some extra help came along as Dopey was brought into the family as a service dog. The most amazing part? The pup can detect seizures before they occur!

The pup and his new human brother formed an instant bond and are now almost never apart! Dopey runs to alert Britton’s parents when he knows a seizure is about to happen. The pup helps Britton open doors and even runs to retriever medication when needed to stop the seizures. The pup never leaves his side and sleeps with him, and he is always there to comfort him after surgeries or episodes.

Dopey is Britton’s special guardian angel and his best friend. What a touching story! Like and share away!
