This site is dedicated to the memory of Emma who disappeared from her yard with the gate closed on the evening of March 20th 2007 never to be seen again. She was almost 14. For many years she was known throughout the world as the "Face of Canine Epilepsy" Even though she is now part of the universe, her light still shines into the dark corners of Canine Epilepsy. Dearest Emma you will never be forgotten. you will live on through this site forever.

The Neurology Dept of the Vet School at North Carolina State University has set up a Memorial fund for Emma called "Emma's Fund. The fund will be used to help the neurology and genetics dept with small projects or pieces of equipment.
