Firefighter Breathes Life Into Chihuahua
Capt. Scott Ledet forced his way into the burning RV with a hatchet. He found Pony, a 1-year-old Chihuahua in her crate, lifeless.
He whisked her outside and began mouth-to-mouth. Yep, that’s right. He spread her mouth open and put his lips “down to the bottom of her throat.”
Ledet didn’t let up, and after 30 minutes of CPR and oxygen the little dog began showing signs of life. It took an hour, but she made it.
Pony’s owner calls her the “luckiest little miracle dog.”
In Ledet’s words, “I never thought twice about not performing CPR on the dog. It was never a question.”
