Q&A: Do dogs help with sleep apnea?

Question by Ashleyy: Do dogs help with sleep apnea? I have sleep apnea and someone told me that if you sleep with a dog in your bed it could help. I guess if you stopped breathing for awhile they would awaken you or something? Is this true?

Honestly i have NEVER heard of such a thing but the bond between an animal and a human can be crazy deep and dogs are usually way more in tune with health issues than we are so that being said...i can completely see it as a possibility. What can it hurt ?
