Meet Banner, a compassionate assistance dog from Georgia, USA, with a heart full of love.
Besides assisting her owner, Whitney Braley, with her disability, Banner has a special talent for rescuing and nurturing animals in distress.
Having been with Whitney since she was a pup, the 3-year-old husky has been trained by her to assist in various situations, especially during Whitney’s anxiety or PTSD episodes.

Whitney shared with Bored Panda: “Banner alerts me about PTSD episodes, anxiety attacks, and more.
We’ve been involved in many rescues, and Banner has a soft spot for kittens. She even raised a kitten I found abandoned two years ago.”
Both Whitney and Banner share a deep love for animals. On one of their walks in the forest, they stumbled upon a sealed cardboard box. Inside? Seven helpless newborn kittens.

Banner’s instincts kicked in, guiding Whitney to the hidden box. Whitney recalls the moment to Metro: “It’s as if someone left these kittens in the box, hoping they’d never be found. I’m amazed at how Banner sensed them, especially since the kittens were silent and cold.”

Whitney welcomed the kittens into her home, vowing to find each one a forever home. She mentioned: “I aim to find loving homes for these kittens. Our local shelter isn’t always the safest option, so I prefer to care for them. I can’t bear the thought of them being harmed.”
