Abstract
The author compares idiopathic epilepsy in her dog to her own life-long emotional “fits” in search of deeper understanding. Delving into the mechanisms of both conditions, she explores the dog-human connection and seeks amelioration of problematic symptoms—for both. She considers the personal, practical, and transpersonal dimensions. God is an ailment man has to cure… –Jung (1975, p. 33)
