服務犬玩遊戲時突靜止不動「詭異凝視」飼主5分鐘，原來牠預感到飼主身體不適，見到她暈倒即做1動作挽救。
服務犬玩遊戲突然停止活動行為異常
日前，國外一名女飼主「@servicedog.sparrow」發佈影片分享，家中飼養的黃金獵犬Sparrow近期救了她一命的經過。她表示，當天Sparrow在和她玩耍期間突然停止不動，然後靜靜地看著她長達5分鐘時間，接著湊上前聞著她的氣味，一系列舉動讓她不明所以。

服務犬靠在飼主身旁靜靜凝視著她
由影片可見，當飼主拋出Sparrow最愛的玩具時，牠沒有任何反應，而是靠在她身旁靜靜地凝視著她。只見飼主試圖讓牠繼續玩，但卻遭到了Sparrow拒絕，原來是「因為牠知道出狀況了」。

飼主暈眩倒地 服務犬用舔臉的方式防止飼主失去意識
飼主透露，當時她正對Sparrow的舉動感到疑惑時，下秒便感到一陣暈眩感襲來，隨後整個人倒在地上。這時她才意識到，原來身為服務犬的Sparrow因為接受過專業訓練，早早就察覺到她的異常，於是才會一直陪在她身邊，舔她的臉以免她失去意識。大約10分鐘後，Sparrow才示意飼主可以嘗試站立。

@servicedog.sparrow *GENUINE ALERT CAPTURED REAL TIME* I was filming my (service) dog playing like a puppy then she suddenly stops about 5 minutes in and starts acting strange! I tried to get her to keep playing but she refused, she knew something was wrong. Turns out I was heading into pre-syncope which often results in long episodes or fainting if I don’t realise or do something quickly enough (sometimes its not possible either). 🦮 Sparrow is my #servicedog and is trained to respond to tiny changes in my body chemistry (detected by scent) and little behavioural cues/physiological changes and either *alert* me ahead of time (like she did here) or *respond* if I go into a pre-syncopal episode to help mitigate the worst of the symptoms (retrieve water, medication, keep me “with it”) or assist if I pass out (bring me round, get help from my partner, calm me down as I come round until I’m ok to get up). What is Pre-Syncope? #Syncope itself refers to passing out/fainting. So #presyncope is by definition “before fainting”, i.e. the feeling of when you’re about to faint. But with some medical conditions, it can happen on it’s own without fully losing consciousness and can last long periods of time. Symptoms include: • Nausea/vomiting • Blurred/tunnel vision (or lost) • Tremor/shaking • Clamminess/sweating • Legs buckling, weakness • Palpitations and heart racing • Ears ringing/hearing muffled (or lost) • Dizziness/lightheadedness • Feeling hot and cold simultaneously And many more. It can come on slowly or ridiculously fast, and occur without warning or in response to a trigger like heat, standing still, infection, humidity. In short, its HORRIBLE. Like the worst travel sickness combined with the stomach flu. #Fainting or #passingout can actually be a relief during pre-syncope. 😵 #DysautonomiaAwareness #NeurocardiogenicSyncope #VasovagalSyncope #PresyncopeAttack #ServiceDog #ServiceDogsPlayToo #servicedogtasking #Servicedogalert #itsmeimtheproblem #hiitsmeimtheproblem #ServiceDogSparrow #AssistanceDog #AssistancedogTask ♬ Oh No - Kreepa
