Charlie is Brianna’s greatest protector

He’s great in every sense of the word — Great Dane Charlie is so in tune with his best friend, three-year-old Brianna Lynch, that he can alert her parents up to 20 minutes before she has a seizure.

Two-year-old Charlie simply adores Brianna, who suffers frequent epilepsy seizures, and is very protective of her any time he senses she is about to have a seizure. In fact, the family pet will push her against a wall and will not leave her until someone comes to her assistance.

Brianna’s mother, Arabella, describes the dog’s sixth sense — acquired without any training — as “amazing”.
