RESTON, Va., Oct. 5 (UPI) -- An off-duty police officer who administered CPR to a dog not only saved the hound, but indirectly the lives of humans, a citizen's committee in Virginia said.
During a visit to Lake Anne near Reston, Va., with his family, police officer Lance Hamilton administered mouth-to-snout resuscitation to his dog, Bailey, after the dog was injured near a dock, the Centre View (Va.) Connection reported. The dog was injured while in the water as he fetched a ball.
Hamilton held the dog's mouth closed and breathed rescue breaths through the snout while uncle Greg Dunphy gave chest compressions, reviving Bailey after about a minute.
A veterinarian who cared for Bailey said the dog was electrocuted and had water in his lungs. An electrical problem on the dock was found soon after and fixed before anyone else could be injured, the newspaper reported.
Russell Porter, chairman of the Citizen's Advisory Committee, said Hamilton "indirectly saved humans and that's why we thought it'd be nice to give him an award from us."
