Banner is a 3-year-old Siberian Husky who helps her mom, Whitney Braley, as a medical-psychiatric service dog. She has been with Whitney since she was a puppy and she is trained to be alert during PTSD episodes and anxiety attacks. Whitney suffers from anxiety attacks caused by her post-traumatic stress disorder, and Banner helps her calm down and leads her away from crowded places.
She can detect migraines and variances in blood pressure as well.
One she kept tugging on Whitney’s dress, in an effort to catch her attention. After Whitney finally decided to follow her, she led her into the woods and to a sealed cardboard box, and when Whitney opened it, she found 7 ice cold newborn kitties that would’ve died soon if they didn’t rescue them.
Whitney and Banner brought the kitties home and nursed them back to health. Banner has been extremely protective of the rescue kittens and acted as their mother during their recovery. Now the kittens are healthy and are being rehomed so they can have their forever family.
