Woman Miraculously Saves Drowning Dog’s Life With CPR [VIDEO]

Dog owner's playing with their dogs at a beach in Tampa, Florida noticed a dog was drowning and immediately sprung into action.

This had my heart racing. As a pet owner I can't imagine the thought of losing my dog under these circumstances.  I think most of us assume that because we have a swim stroke called the "doggy paddle" that all dogs can swim. I'm not so sure that's the case. My poor dog is terrified of water and won't even go near it.

What these people did was an amazing thing and from what I've read about this story is that Xena had a clean bill of health after visiting the vet; she's a loveable girl who loves belly rubs and swimming.

Vets recommend that if you are enjoying a day by the water with your dog, make sure to give your dog lots of breaks from the water activities. Let them dry out, get some fresh drinking water (if they haven’t drunk some already) and force them to rest before they get back to playing.
