There is little evidence for the ability of dogs to anticipate human seizures. Families of epileptic children were surveyed to investigate seizure-related behaviors in dogs. Approximately 40% of families owned a dog, about 40% of these had seizure-specific behavior, and about 40% of these (approximately 15% overall) showed anticipatory ability. Anticipation occurred early and was both sensitive and specific. Quality of life was higher in families with a dog that responded to seizures.
几乎没有证据表明狗有预测人类癫痫发作的能力。对癫痫儿童的家庭进行了调查，以研究狗的癫痫相关行为。大约40%的家庭养狗，其中约40%的狗有特定于癫痫发作的行为，而这些狗中约40%（总体约15%）表现出预测能力。预测发生得很早，且具有敏感性和特异性。有能对癫痫发作做出反应的狗的家庭生活质量更高。
