Dogs are amazing. One of the many tasks this dog performs is alerting to anxiety/panic attacks and de-escalating them. He has been taught to break the woman's hands apart and away from the face and is supposed to encourage the woman to put her hands and even face on him - which calms her down.
Its pouch-like mouth can inflate in an instant, scooping up much larger prey just like a pelican--and giving it that muppet-like look!
