Teka, a 3-year-old Australian Cattle Dog, has been given the RSPCA’s animal achievement award for her efforts following her owner’s massive heart attack.
Her owner Jim Touzeau collapsed on the floor when his heart stopped while working at his glass factory.
Teka immediately climbed onto his chest and began to jump repeatedly with her four paws. Then she barked in his face and ran barking outside to attract attention.
Medical experts won’t agree whether the canine CPR had medical impact, but do agree that her owner wouldn’t be alive today without her efforts to revive him and attract attention.
