Heroic Shelter Dog Detects Visitor’s Seizure During Adoption Event

Rustburg,
VA -

During a recent adoption event hosted by the Friends of Campbell County Animal Control in Virginia, a shelter dog named Sienna displayed remarkable intuition.

While interacting with visitors, Sienna approached a man she had never met and placed a paw on his leg, refusing to leave his side. This unprompted behavior alerted the man's wife, Kristen Davis, who realized her husband was experiencing a seizure or was about to. Although Sienna hadn't been trained to detect seizures, her actions demonstrated an extraordinary sensitivity to human health.

Kristen Davis shared her gratitude on the shelter's Facebook post, expressing that while they couldn't adopt Sienna due to already having three dogs, they hoped someone would provide her with the loving home she deserves. Following the incident, the shelter received offers from three individuals willing to cover Sienna's adoption fee, highlighting the community's support and recognition of her exceptional abilities.
