"SERVICE DOG PSA
so today i tripped. fell flat on my face, it was awful but ultimately harmless. my service dog, however, is trained to go get an adult if i have a seizure, and he assumed this was a seizure (we're training him to do more to care for me, but we didnt learn i had epilepsy until a year after we got him)
i went after him after i had dusten off my jeans and my ego, and i found him trying to get the attention of a very annoyed woman. she was swatting him away and telling him to go away. so i feel like i need to make this heads up
if a service dog without a person approaches you, it means the person is down and in need of help
dont get scared, dont get annoyed, follow the dog!"
