No human was around when Yogi, a French bulldog, suddenly started experiencing a seizure at home. However, an unlikely hero came to his aid, which may be why he is still alive.
Yogi, who has severe epilepsy, was home in Milford, Connecticut, with his brother Reggie, a 16-month-old boxer, when he started seizing.
With no human in sight, Reggie jumped into action and kept Yogi upright and moving, their owner, Sarah McArdle Strilka, told Storyful.
“My French bulldog, Yogi, has severe epilepsy,” Strilka told Storyful. “As soon as Yogi started seizing when I wasn’t home, Reggie jumped into action.”

In Milford, Connecticut, when Yogi the French bulldog had a seizure at home, it was his boxer friend, Reggie, who stepped in to keep him alive.
Security camera footage from the incident shows a worried Reggie fussing over Yogi and moving him around, constantly trying to keep his buddy upright. All the movement and attention saved Yogi from aspirating long enough for Strilka to get home.
Despite having limited experience, Reggie was able to keep Yogi alive for three hours, Strilka said, adding that the boxer had only been present for Yogi’s epilepsy attacks once before.
“If it wasn’t for Reggie, Yogi would not be alive today,” she told Storyful.
