We have four dogs but it is only one that is aware of my fits. I was once bathing with the bathroom door closed and started having a fit. My friend says the dog suddenly started "going mad". He ran up and down between the bathroom and her study about three times before she realised something was wrong and came running. Fortunately she got there in time.
Now when I am in the bath (always with the door open) this dog will check up on me if I just clear my throat. I have to tell him I am okay and he will walk off again.
