USA Today ran a story today about the Humane Society and the Red Cross
training people to perform CPR on animals. My wife once saved a puppy’s life
by giving it mouth to mouth.
My neighbor’s dog was pregnant and one day the next door neighbor comes over
in a fit not knowing what to do — the puppy’s were being born, but one of them
was not breathing (people with such problems inevitably manage to find Lisa
for some reason). Lisa quickly went over to the puppy and started giving it
mouth-to-mouth, and after awhile the dog finally started breathing.
I would probably do a double-take before giving a puppy mouth-to-mouth, but
Lisa’s the sort of person who would do it in an instant without thinking twice
(which is one of the reasons I married her).
