This Rottweiler Is Comforting His Owner For The Most Heartbreaking Reason



Danielle Jacobs is a 24 year old from Tempe, Arizona. Danielle lives with Asperger's, a high-functioning form of Autism. Her 4 year old rottweiler Samson is a rescue who she's trained for service work. Samson is trained for service work for Asperger syndrome, PTSD, TBI, and anxiety disorder.





In this case, Samson is seen responding to a meltdown. Although he seems to be responding to the episode late, he's actually trained to respond near the end of a meltdown to help Danielle avoid a panic attack. Danielle Jacobs has been extremely brave in opening up and posting what she deals with on a daily basis on YouTube. She has understandably requested that people avoid posting negative comments, as this was difficult to post online.
