A tiny dog with a big heart was caught on camera comforting her owner by licking her face as she experienced a severe seizure.
In order to live with her seizures that happen on a daily basis, Angelique Busko from Essex, Ontario, has partnered up with Sadie the comfort dog.
While Ms. Busko used to live a normal life, a sudden sickness left her with a series of seizures that refuse to go away.
One of the fits occurred on July 18, and the girl’s mother managed to capture it on camera.
In the short footage, 20-year-old Angelique is seen lying in her bed as she suffers from a seizure. By her side, there is Sadie who comforts her owner by licking her face.
Fortunately, Angelique’s seizure quickly ceased.
“I think Sadie managed to calm me by kissing and licking me because she could sense something was wrong,” she said after the incident.
“I felt more relaxed and at ease when I knew my dog was there. She brings me comfort and helps me with my anxiety.
“I have a really special bond with Sadie. I got her almost six months ago and she’s always by my side 24/7. She follows me everywhere.”
Two years after her first seizure, the 20-year-old continues to suffer from the mysterious fits and is unable to work which is why she resorted to documenting her journey and raising awareness about seizures.
“I am more likely to have a seizure If I don’t get enough sleep if I don’t eat right if I’m nervous or have anxiety,” she added.
“I get a loud ringing in my ears which makes it hard for me to hear. I started to feel burning, tingling, and numbness in my chest, legs, and arms. My cheek will pull to the side and I can’t talk. I also can’t really see. They usually last a few minutes.
“After my seizures stop, I can’t talk or pronounce words. It usually takes me a half-hour to an hour until I’m back to my normal self.”
As the girl added, her 5-year-old Maltese and Shih Tzu cross made her condition more bearable and she can’t see herself dealing with it on her own.
