Michelle Use the 27/7 hotline people can get answers to your questions I know dogs can be helpful because I had one back in the 1960's. I had been given a lab and she followed me everywhere. I came down with epilepsy a few years later. She knew when i was going to need help. She kinda steered me away from the street and into a yard with soft grass. She even delivered papers for me
