Watch Service Dog Calm Human During Panic Attack in Amazing Video

Dogs are amazing creatures. The most popular animal companions, they provide Support and unconditional love. However, many dogs also provide important services to people who have lost their sight or hearing, experience medical conditions, or have been through trauma. These service dogs help their humans navigate the world and fulfill important roles.

A video shared by Sabrina Flores to her Instagram account @withlovesabrinaflores shows how helpful service dogs can be. In the video, Sabrina’s service dog Koa can be seen helping her recover from a panic attack. Koa leans herself on Sabrina’s lap and licks her face to help disrupt the attack’s progression. Sabrina shares that Koa’s help allows her to navigate her medical conditions and that the dog’s Support can make the difference between being able to recover at home or having to seek urgent medical attention.

Koa has been training to be Sabrina’s service dog since the pup was eight weeks old. Koa has trained extensively to provide Sabrina with the Support she needs during a panic attack or dissociative episode. Service dogs like Koa provide “a sense of security, independence, and confidence” says Sabrina. The video’s viewers praised Koa for how she cared for her human. “This is incredible. Dogs are amazing” said one comment.
