Dog saved by the "kiss"
A pet owner saved his dog’s life by giving her the kiss of life.
Trevor Jackson didn’t think twice about giving his greyhound mouth-to-mouth resuscitation after she collapsed during a walk.
The dog lover, from Hull, set upon trying to save Princess in the back of a car – after he had flagged it down on January 26.
The 57-year-old said: ‘I opened her mouth and basically stuck my head in her mouth and started blowing air in.
‘It’s amazing you can get your head right in there.
‘It was really scary. I could see straight away that Princess was dying and her face was turning blue in the car. I was just desperately trying to keep her awake.’
Mr Jackson is now looking for the two women in the car who agreed to take them to the vet.
He added: ‘There was no time to stop and talk, but they’ve helped save her life. The vets told me that she was minutes away from dying.’
Princess, 11, has been given the all clear after receiving emergency medical treatment for a heart murmur.
Mr Jackson adopted the former track dog in 2010.
