I have epilepsy and the subject of a service dog was brought up in a period of my life where my seizures became life threatening (this will not be discussed in class).
I have observed the mannerisms of uneducated children and adults around service dogs and hope to spread awareness to help the handlers/owners of these wonderful animals.
