I'm so glad that beautiful Boxer survived, but I have to say that video gave me major agita.
I'm all uppity with 'that's not cpr! Take a course, dude. I'll even teach you!
But then I have to remember that I didn't even know dog cpr existed until last May when Windsparrow hipped me to it.

God. I have a town hall in about 10. We've been having them every week for the past 3 or so, and it's pretty much, "We know everything you're hearing is bad, but that's not really what's going on and no, we cant tell you what's really going on." Then we all spend the rest of the day demoralized.

So he wasn't doing it right? Now I want to know what the right way is - are there good correct canine cpr videos on youtube?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
May your brother and all the folks he's with get home safely, Hayden.
Oh, bugger. I just remembered I'm supposed to be going to a shindig tonight, and I haven't even RSVP'd yet. ehh, I don't know if I'll go. I'd have to dye my hair and find some clean clothes and be all cheery. OTOH, it's at a good Chinese restaurant.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

sumi, the Red Cross is not the only purveyor of cpr instruction, but that is my certification.
The trainers hands were held incorrectly, in the wrong area of the chest. His compressions were not deep enough and not in the appropriate speed.
Briefly, for that size dog, using the standard cpr position (kneeling with one hand over the other, fingers interlocked, compress the chest 1/2 to 1 inch, 100-120 compressions per minute, about 2-3 per second.
One fun way to remember the compression beat is to hum 'Stayin' Alive.' That speed is appropriate.
I loved that the instructor wanted to help. I'm not dissing him at all, but to be honest, I believe the dog revived on his own.
