Toby was smart enough to recogmize when his owner was in trouble, and used the Heimlich maneuver (no, not "hind lick" :p) And to think that this amazing Golden had been tossed into the garbage at the age of 4 weeks! :mad:

When Debbie Parkhurst choked on a piece of apple at her Maryland home, her dog jumped in, landing hard on her chest and forcing the morsel to pop out of her throat.

Smart animals! I wonder if my dogs would know what to do if I was chocking.
