Firefighters revive dog with mouth-to-snout CPR
October 18, 2004

NEW CUMBERLAND, Pa. (AP) -- Marshall, a Labrador retriever, is none the worse for wear after surviving a house fire -- with the help of two firefighters who performed CPR.

The dog was overcome and stopped breathing Friday afternoon when a kitchen fire broke out at the home of his owners, George and Katherine Kabusk, who were away on vacation. Neighbors had been looking after the young chocolate Lab.

Two firefighters who were going through the Cumberland County home looking for possible victims stumbled on the dog's limp body on the second floor and carried him outside.

New Cumberland firefighter Jason Pooler gave Marshall mouth-to-snout resuscitation while Lemoyne firefighter Kenneth Mose pushed on the dog's chest to pump the heart. Together, they revived the pooch.

After an ambulance crew gave him oxygen, Marshall was whisked to a veterinarian for a checkup. He was back before firefighters finished rolling up their hose.

"The only regret I have is I still have dog breath," Pooler said. "But I'd do it again in a minute."

If I were the dog's owners, I'd pull an Oprah and get the guy a new car.
