Woman Says Dog Saved Her by Performing Heimlich Maneuver
full story
Toby, a 2-year-old golden retriever, really is man's best friend — or in this case, woman's.
Debbie Parkhurst, a 45-year-old jewelry artist who lives in Calvert, Md., says her dog Toby saved her life last week after she began to choke on a piece of apple by giving her the Heimlich maneuver, the Cecil Whig reported.

Parkhurst was home alone Friday afternoon eating a snack of sliced apples when one became lodged in her windpipe. After smacking herself against a chair to dislodge it, she started beating herself on the chest, which she thinks alerted Toby to the problem.

The apple eventually became loose and Toby started licking her face, possibly to keep her from passing out, Parkhurst said.
"I, literally, have pawprint-shaped bruises on my chest," Parkhurst said. "I’m still a little hoarse, but otherwise, I’m OK."
A friend took Parkhurst to the doctor.
"The doctor said I probably wouldn’t be here without Toby," the married woman and owner of two dogs said. "I keep looking at him and saying ‘You’re amazing.’"

I'm with you. Either that or the dog was trying to finish her off so he could eat her...

she probably hit the floor and the dog was doing what dogs do; trying to mount her. More likely, she made the whole thing up because she's friggin insane.

I'm gonna have to pull the bullshit card on this one. Seems like she stretched the truth a little here.

Amazes me that it even makes the press. Where's the corroborating evidence or eyewitness? Honestly att least UFO abductees can call on other tinfoil hat wearing nutcases to back up their insanity. All she has is a dog...great witness.
