The dog received many compliments after repeatedly jumping onto the chest of a police officer lying motionless on the ground for resuscitation.
The Madrid Police Department, Spain, shared a video recording the scene of a police dog wearing a flashing light trying to save its trainer’s life by performing emergency resuscitation on Twitter on June 23, according to Long Room. The video attracted nearly 1.7 million views after just three days of posting.
In the video, the police officer suddenly falls to the ground and appears to be unconscious. A small pooch named Poncho quickly ran from afar, trying to nudge the side of his body to wake up his owner. When the policeman did not move, the dog jumped on the man’s chest four times before putting its ear close to his mouth to listen for his breathing. Then it continues to repeat the action.
“Dogs are the only species in the world that will love you more than themselves,” commented an account named John Billings. “What a smart dog! It’s worth a mountain of gold. So adorable,” another person wrote.
