A first aid volunteer has saved his pet Labrador’s life after she nearly drowned in a fast-flowing stream.
Norman Milne deployed his CPR skills to resuscitate his pet, Goldie, after she stopped breathing following an accident on Scotland’s far northeast coast.
The Golden Labrador fell into the water and was swept away by the current while Mr Milne and his family were on holiday at a caravan park in Banff in June.
The dog could not escape the water due to the steep slippery banks and speed of the flow, but was finally extricated by Mr Milne’s nephew.
She was then covered in towels and duvets to warm her up but Mr Milne noticed she had stopped breathing.
He then adapted his CPR skills by closing her mouth tightly and blowing hard into her nose while performing chest compressions until she recovered.
Mr Milne, from Ayrshire, said the family is grateful that Goldie is back home and recovering from her ordeal, with incidents like theirs showing the value of being first aid trained and how adaptable the skills can be.
Mr Milne shared his story to mark International Dog Day on Monday.
