When Danielle Zuckerman went to Sammie’s Friends Animal Shelter, she went to get a friend for her son. But she got something even better – a dog that would free her from her health limitations.

Thor is a quiet, friendly pit bull. At least, he was until a few days after they adopted him. That was when he jumped on Danielle’s lap and started barking. She didn’t understand what was going on at first.
“I thought maybe something was wrong with him, and about 10 to 15 minutes later I had a seizure,” says Danielle.
Danielle suffers seizures from a spinal cord injury and Thor can sense when they are about to happen. He has now performed the detection eight times in two months.
“I feel so much more comfortable, you know, going out in public and doing things, because when you’re an epileptic, you don’t have control over your own body,” says Danielle.
