It is a strange coincidence however that the seizure chemical is the same chemical that causes a dog to bark.

It’s probably just that the dogs can detect a problem and are barking out of empathetic concern or fear (if not trained)

Well it's odor they can detect and distinguish, and then can be trained to either bark and or take other actions.

Dogs don't need a chemical to make them bark.
