re: Anyone given or heard of a dog given CPR successfully?

Not CPR, but mouth to snout.

My young kids fashioned a leash out of a rope and were playing with the dog in the yard and decided to take him down the kiddie slide on the swing set. The rope caught at the top of the slide and the dog was being hung.

I'm in the house going to the bathroom and I hear all hell breaking loose and finally my wife comes in and says the dog is choking to death. They had a knife and were trying to cut the rope when I get out there, so I finish cutting the dog loose and set him up on the top of the slide.

His eyes are rolled into the back of his head and his tounge is sticking out a mile and we're almost face to face and I thought, why not? So I put my mouth over his nose and pushed air into his lungs then squeezed his chest. I waited a few seconds and did it again. Then again.

Then you could see the dogs eyes start to move and he slowly came around.

Happy yes, but I gotta say it was a god-like feeling bringing him back from the brink.
