You might check some of the nat'l television stations like the "news" shows 20/20 etc., I have watched several of these type of stories on the sixth sense of dogs being used w/epileptic pts-it is quite amazing isn't it?

Also, have you tried Discovery Health Channel to see if the have any info archived? That's about the only places that I can think of off the top of my head. Hope something helps soon for you.

I a few links that might help in your search. Some are general service dog links that might have further links to more specific services. The first is an article about seizure dogs. The last one has a list of trainers and providers. You may be able to contact them for more information:

Abstract

Studies have demonstrated that "seizure-alert dog" owners with epilepsy exhibit improvement in seizure rates.
