Furry Rescuer Saves Choking Woman

Posted in: First Aid, Emergency Care Info

Here is an interesting news story I found this morning on CNN.com. It is reported that a dog named Toby saved his owner’s life when she was choking. The owner, Debbie Parkhurst, of Calvery, Maryland says that she was choking on an apple when her furry rescuer pulled her to the ground and began jumping on her chest. And with a few thrusts of the paws the obstructing apple bit was launched skyward.

I am not making this up, check ou the video news story on CNN.com

Oh, I fortgot to mention that we were unable to independently verify this story, since, well…Toby ate the apple projectile. Additionally, our calls to identify the offending apple variety were not returned. :-)
