I WANTED to share with readers news about a very special dog.

I got Lucy in 2012, when she was eight weeks old.

After a few months she sat near me when I had a seizure, and subsequently would sit next to me 15 minutes before the seizure occurred.

In 2016, with the help of Medical Detection Dogs, Lucy qualified to be a medical alert assistance dog for me.

We go everywhere together, and all who meet Lucy fall in love with her.

She has now 'retired', at the age of 12, but I am sure she will never stop looking after me.

Lucy changed my life as soon as she entered it – she is my best friend and soulmate.

Elizabeth Braham, formerly of Haworth, now of Otley
