Mouth to Snout Resuscitation

The Municipal Police of Madrid released a video last week, showing a K-9 responder named Poncho running to the aid of his police handler and attempting to perform CPR on him after the police officer collapsed to the ground.  The dog was seen jumping up and down on the police officer’s chest several times, pausing every so often to put his head on the officer’s neck, feeling for a pulse and breathing.

While it is unlikely that the dog would have much luck in an actual life-threatening situation, the video was an adorable display of the bond between dogs and humans.
