CALVERT, Md. - Toby, a 2-year-old goldenretriever, saw his owner choking on a piece of fruit and began jumpingup and down on the woman's chest. The dog's owner believes the dog wastrying to perform the Heimlich maneuver and saved her life.

Debbie Parkhurst, 45, of Calvert told the Cecil Whig she was eating anapple at her home Friday when a piece lodged in her throat. Sheattempted to perform the Heimlich maneuver on herself but it didn'twork. After she began beating on her chest, she said Toby noticed andgot involved.

"The next think I know, Toby's up on his hind feet and he's got hisfront paws on my shoulders," she recalled. "He pushed me to the ground,and once I was on my back, he began jumping up and down on my chest."

That's when the apple dislodged and Toby started licking her face to keep her from passing out, she said.

"I literally have pawprint-shaped bruises on my chest. I'm still a little hoarse, but otherwise, I'm OK," Parkhurst said.

"The doctor said I probably wouldnt be here without Toby," saidParkhurst, a jewelry artist. "I keep looking at him and saying 'Youreamazing.'"

I know! The only way my dog would ever do thatfor me would be if she thought there was even the slightest possibilityof getting that apple chunk out so she could eat it. :disgust:
 
awwww .... and I just now read that the dog inthe story was originally rescued from a garbage dumpster as a puppy,and was adopted by his present owner. :inlove:
 
Miracle puppy :D. Talk about meant to be! She saved his life, and he saved hers.

I know, my dog is the same. Or he would run around thinking I was playing.
