Owner Says Dog Did Heimlich To Save Her
Golden Retriever Apparently Saves Choking Owner !
CALVERT, Md. — The owner of a 2-year-old golden retriever said her dog saved her life when she choked on a piece of fruit.
Debbie Parkhurst, 45, said she was eating an apple Friday when it lodged in her throat. After trying to perform the Heimlich maneuver on herself, she said, she began pounding on her chest.
That got the attention of Toby, who she said pushed her to the floor. She said he then began jumping up and down on her chest until the fruit came loose. She told The Cecil Whig that her doctor said she probably wouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t for the dog’s actions.
