There’s a new Manchester local in town. His name is Calipari, he has four legs and he’s covered in fur. But for the Sichelstiel family, Calipari, a golden retriever-Labrador mix, is more than just a family dog. Calipari has been trained to detect seizures, a common occurrence for Hannah Sichelstiel, who has a rare epilepsy disorder known as Dravet syndrome.
