Echo is a lovable dog and loyal companion to Jaime Simpson — but he’s also much more. Echo is trained to detect signs of Simpson’s epilepsy and helps prevent seizures by alerting her early.
Though medication helps manage her condition, Echo’s instincts are crucial. Recently, when Simpson had a sudden seizure on the couch, Echo tried to bring her medication and barked to alert others. He then lay across her body to prevent injury.
Simpson shared the moment to raise epilepsy awareness and highlight Echo’s life-saving role as both a service dog and best friend.
