Sienna: the dog who prevented a seizure
Weekend Argus on Saturday
|June 28, 2025
DOCTOR WHO?
-
AT a recent adoption event, Sienna — a three-year-old lab and pit bull mix — made a beeline for a man she'd never met and gently placed her paw on his leg.
“She saw him, and she started pulling on the leash very hard, which is not normal for her,” said Jackie Poppe, a volunteer with Friends of Campbell County Animal Control in Rustburg, Virginia.
The adoption event was held at a church yard sale, and there were several booths with different vendors. Sienna, who needed a permanent home, was going from booth to booth greeting attendees — until she locked eyes with one man and headed directly for him.
Poppe tried to pull Sienna away, but she would not leave the man’s side. That is when the man’s wife - who had been shopping nearby — turned around and noticed something was wrong.
