Amber Oliver, a certified professional dog trainer, shares a special bond with her dog, Oakley.

A heartwarming video from Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky International Airport captures Oakley in action, comforting Amber in a unique and adorable manner.

Oakley has been trained to gently break Amber’s hands apart and away from her face, a technique designed to prevent the escalation of a panic attack. He encourages Amber to place her hands, and even her face, on him, a method that helps calm her down during these challenging moments.
