Quick-Thinking Golden Retriever Saves Woman with Improvised Heimlich Maneuver

This is the closest I've found to a reverse of the scenario in my last post. There are no known accounts online of persons receiving snout-to-mouth resuscitation from dogs. Back in May, so the story goes, a Golden Retriever performed a "modified Heimlich" on a choking woman by pushing her over and jumping up and down on her. As I recall, my family had a dog once who was also familiar with the modified Heimlich. He used to try it out on lots of people when they weren't expecting it. We usually just yelled at him and told him to cut it out, but if we were choking it would have been pretty nice having him around.

By the way, I first found the story listed at "dogsinthenews.com". I am pleased to announce that "dogsinthenews.com" is now an official link from this blog.

The picture associated with your last post has nothing to do with a dog giving a heimlick to some women it looks like a scene from Micheal Vicks last party.
