Cop Breathes Life Into Stricken Dog

I got a reply back from the police department and said that Officer Richmond would be notified of the email. I hope he likes it because I sure like what he did,

I took the time to email Officer Richmond, and Purrley, I used your words. Yes, it would be a wonderful world if there were more people like this officer. I can just imagine how grateful the owner of the dog must be.

The Cannine CPR class I took was offered by the Red Cross and University of GA Veterinary School.

I found out about it through my Vet's office who was sending two of their new Techs down to train.

Officer Richmond, you're a HERO!!!!!!!!!!! What a miracle!! What a happy, happy Mom that must be!! I too encourage all that can to get certified in animal CPR/First Aid. I think I posted a link in health on organizations that offer the course a while back. Mine was obtained through the Red Cross. Now every year I get re-certif. for my nursing AND as a furmom!

I second what everyone has said. I think that many other people wouldn't have bothered since it was a dog that got injured.

Welcome to Pet Talk Officer Richmond.

You did a great thing Sir.
I've never done CPR on a dog, but I have done first aid several times.

I'm taking school to learn how to become a cop, and my dream is to become a K9 officer, search and rescue with K9 and a sniper (from what I've been told I have a great shot at 200 yards), I want to get into Durhem Police (near Toronto/Ontario/Canada), by the end of next year they'll have the largest tatical team in all of north/south america, & they get paid the 2ed most in all of Canada (over $62,000), & they get a nice raise every year.

I'm going to get a hold of red cross & see if I can take that animal cpr/first aid course, The more courses on my resume the better.
