Owner says dog saved her with 'Heimlich'
Wed Mar 28, 4:54 AM ET
CALVERT, Md. - Toby, a 2-year-old golden retriever, saw his owner
choking on a piece of fruit and began jumping up and down on the
woman's chest. The dog's owner believes the dog was trying to perform
the Heimlich maneuver and saved her life.
Debbie Parkhurst, 45, of Calvert told the Cecil Whig she was eating an
apple at her home Friday when a piece lodged in her throat. She
attempted to perform the Heimlich maneuver on herself but it didn't
work. After she began beating on her chest, she said Toby noticed and
got involved.
"The next think I know, Toby's up on his hind feet and he's got his
front paws on my shoulders," she recalled. "He pushed me to the
ground, and once I was on my back, he began jumping up and down on my
chest."
That's when the apple dislodged and Toby started licking her face to
keep her from passing out, she said.
Anyone want to work on this and nominate for PET HERO DOG ?? Helen Miller
