Boy with nut allergy gets life-saving service dog after going into five-day coma.
At a time when approximately one in 13 U.S. children are suffering from food allergies, some parents are turning to canine friends to help save the lives of their kids.
Trixie likes treats and playing fetch, but she is more than just a pet to Hayden's family -- she is a trained super-sniffer who can potentially save lives and is specially trained to detect 12 different kinds of nuts that Hayden is allergic to."I feel safer with having Trixie with me like day to day," he told"GMA."
"He will not live through another reaction. So you're going to have a choice to make," Jay Kreikemeier said they were told."You can either keep him at home and keep him away from everything and keep him 100% safe. Or you can continue to educate people around you." ABC News' chief medical correspondent Dr. Jen Ashton cautioned that while dogs have incredibly sensitive noses -- they can detect bombs, drugs and even chemical changes in the body that can lead to seizures -- it is very important that someone looking for an allergy-detection dog does a lot of research ahead of time.
