Letter: Everyone's best friend

Editor, Daily News:

Regarding having a trained dog in school:

I was in the Metro in Washington, D.C., and saw this young woman with her dog.

Suddenly I saw her lay down on the floor and the dog laid beside her. She had a seizure and the dog stayed right beside her.

I was attending to her and the dog allowed me to stay with her until emergency medical technicians came.

I had never seen a dog like this work.

I'm sure the child's room would quickly get used to the dog and forget he was there. The dog will be gentle and quiet and lay beside his master.

Please consider this, as it would be an advantage for the teacher, as she could get help and be prepared if necessary.
