A man saved the life of a in cardiopulmonary arrest in the street. A courageous gesture that also demonstrates the importance of knowing how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Cardiac arrest can occur at any time, leaving no time for a doctor to attend to the animal. Most of the time, it does not occur in a hospital, and the majority of the population is unfamiliar with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) maneuvers, which maintain the blood supply and oxygenation of organs, preventing them from being too badly damaged when help arrives.

CPR maneuvers save lives

Fortunately, in this dog's case, Jay wasn't far behind. The amazing video he shared on his account has gone viral. The viral video shows the animal lying motionless on the ground while the man performs CPR. Following the same rhythm, Jay presses repeatedly on the animal's chest with his clasped hands. He then performs what is known as mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, which involves administering ventilations.

@bestfetchdog I had no idea this guy was filming this whole thing. Check out my face when i first looked up and noticed he captured this on video i was like that's the real mvp lol! #cpr #dogs #livesaving #dogcpr #epicmoment #boxerdog #hero ♬ original sound – JAY

After several attempts, the man manages to get the dog to breathe and move. Although he's still on the ground and spasming, Jay manages to calm him down. “You did it, boy,” he tells the dog, while the woman with him can't believe she's saved him.

In another video, we see the dog stand up and jump for joy because he's still alive. Users are grateful to this person for having been nearby, without whom we wouldn't know what would have happened to the animal's life. Some took the opportunity to complain about cyclists who transport their tethered animals by following the speed of the bike. “This should be illegal. Thanks for saving the puppy,” commented one Internet user. The tiktoker, which has over a million followers, liked the message.
