We have considered a seizure dog. Apparently there is something in them that can detect a siezure coming on and allow the person to put on a helmet.

We've considered the same, however I have two cats (that my wife hates) and she won't get another animal until I get rid of the cats.
Due to my religious beliefs, I'm unable to get rid of the cats, since by adopting them, I've committed to a life-long thing.

I know that they are training seizure dogs, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that the ability to detect seizures appears to be something the dog is born with.

A friend’s niece has one and they really do help a great deal.
