Can a dog perform CPR? Check out the video below.

According to a great article on the Washington Post: "Poncho’s performance was a well-done “trick” but not really a first-aid technique, said Ronnie Johnson, lead trainer at Global Training Academy, a training center for K-9s in Somerset, Tex. Police dogs can be taught to do a variety of things such as sniffing out drugs or explosives or other contraband, tracking missing persons or even apprehending criminals. But he told The Washington Post on Tuesday, “I don’t think a dog could actually do CPR,” explaining that the lifesaving measure requires precision and strength."

The article goes on to say... "Don’t worry, dogs are still incredible creatures — they have been known to rescue one another from drowning and save soldiers at war. They comfort children. Guard airports. And steal our hearts. They just can’t restart them."
