Mouth-to-snort CPR saves dog
Marshall, a Labrador retriever, is none the worse for wear after surviving a house fire — with the help of two firefighters who performed CPR. New Cumberland firefighter Jason Pooler gave Marshall mouth-to-snout resuscitation while Lemoyne firefighter Kenneth Mose pushed on the dog’s chest to pump the heart. Together, they revived the pooch.
Now I don’t know about anyone else thats taken CPR classes, but the mouth-to-snort technique was not something that was covered. Yuck. I can’t even imagine what it would feel like to stick a wet dog nose in my mouth. Ehh.. CPR classes really need to cover all the bases for Lassie’s sake.
