Haley Moore and her dog Clover were out on a walk in an Ottawa, Canada, neighborhood, when Moore's seizure began and she collapsed to the ground. That’s when the dog unleashed herself and stopped traffic to get her owner help. Moore says her rescue has rescued her!

Her owner explained that the dog could sense when her owner was about to have a seizure and nudged her leg until the owner sat down. She said her seizures in and of themselves were not dangerous, but she could fall and hit her head or otherwise injure herself severely, and the dog saved her from that. I asked if the dog had been trained, and she said no, that she noticed this behavior after she'd had the dog a year, so the dog had apparently taught itself what to do.

if that had been a Democrat laying there, and the driver had been a requg, the driver would have backed the truck up and ran over the Democrat.

The dog's talent was discovered by accident as well. With a little training the dog was able to tell exactly where on the body the cancer was. 90% + accuracy rate.

Apparently she was a dog that lived with someone who died of cancer prior to adoption from the shelter. I thought the doc was maybe pulling my leg but it is an actual thing.
