Why would a child need this? Kids have to sleep. Parents have to sleep. Having someone or in this case, a support animal, who can tell when the child is about to have a seizure, can notify parents so they are there to help.
A seizure when a child is asleep can be fatal. A seizure and a parent doesn't know and no one does - because the child is 2 years old - can be dangerous.
Maybe if you bothered to spend 30 seconds learning what hydrocephalus is and why a service animal is important (including so the child can be home with parents and not away from them under constant medical attention) you might not be so blase about a toddler with a medical condition - not Suburban Suzy who takes her pet poodle everywhere as her service animal.
According to FOX 10 Phoenix, pet rescue agency representative Kim Biggerstaff was planning to fly a service dog named Daisy to California to help a two-year-old girl named Mila Lhautara who was born with hydrocephalus and recently diagnosed with epilepsy.
The two year old wasn't even on the flight. It was being delivered to her.
Daisy rides in a crate in the cargo hold.
Maigray, if 99% of the people would stop calling pets “service animals” we could get back to legit service animals and their handlers/ owner being treated with respect. as it is I suspect every service animal as a scam. BTW I knew a woman from church that really did need a service animal. she had some severe emotional problems. and she asked people not to pet her service animal. it was a very gental whippet retired racing dog. and very well trained.
