As if we needed any more proof that dogs are the best.

A one-year-old border collie-kelpie autism service dog named Marley has been filmed comforting his owner who was having a panic attack in her NSW home, a new video shows.

The distressed owner, Hayley, can be seen hitting herself, as Marley attempts to stop her with his paws before jumping on her lap and embracing her.

Hayley, who preferred not to give her full name, shared the video to the Dogspotting Facebook group saying: “This (panic attack) was … a bit more severe than the others. But I wanna show people that dogs can help in great ways
