A specially-trained dog is helping to transform the life of a young woman who has epilepsy.
Hannah Baker, 20, from Dedham in Essex, has severe epilepsy, brought on by a non-malignant tumour diagnosed when she was six years old.
Poodle Milo has been trained by the charity, Support Dogs, to spot changes to her pupils or skin tone before she has a seizure.
He then stares at her until she knows something is wrong.
Before she had Milo, Hannah used to have up to 80 seizures a day - now she has about 10 seizures each day, and most of those are small.
"Milo is like a security blanket for me," said Hannah.
