Brave CPR rescue: whitney the dog defies odds to recover from pool mishap

Andy, Kim Brocchini, and their son, Will, stumbled upon a distressing sight when they discovered their Yorkshire terrier/poodle mix, Whitney, motionless in their pool, amidst the company of four larger dogs. Despite Whitney’s usual swimming prowess, they suspected she was accidentally pushed into the water amid the larger dogs. Will acted swiftly, diving in to rescue her. Initially lifeless, Whitney was revived after Andy, a seasoned EMT/firefighter, performed CPR—a skill he had recently researched for their other dog’s respiratory issue. Rushed to a veterinary clinic and then UC Davis’ animal hospital, Whitney battled lung complications from drowning and CPR, ultimately making a remarkable recovery after intensive care and dedicated attention from the veterinary team. Gradually improving over weeks, Whitney returned home with encouragement to resume normal activities by her devoted owners and the medical team's guidance.

Two good samaritans and canine companions unite to save man's life in critical moment

Guardian angels to Ron Rhodes, as he affectionately calls them, remain at the forefront of his thoughts every day. Last November, on a dark, rainy morning, the 72-year-old was walking his dog when his heart abruptly ceased its beating. He retains no memory of leaving home or that fateful morning, only awakening hours later in a hospital room. The incident, however, is etched vividly in Megan Carpenter's mind. While out with her own dog, Ava, near Beverly Clearly School in Northeast Portland, she witnessed Rhodes' collapse and immediately sprang into action. Carpenter, drawing on her college-learned CPR skills, dialed 911 and initiated chest compressions. Three minutes later, Hilary Bennett joined the effort, sharing the lifesaving duties. The two women sustained their collaborative efforts, alternating as they kept Rhodes alive until medical help arrived four minutes afterward. Fully recovered now, Rhodes credits his survival to their swift and selfless response. He expressed deep gratitude, acknowledging that no amount of money could match the value of their life-saving intervention.
