Dog performs “CPR”.

Amazing Dog Shows Off it's “CPR” Skills

We know that dogs are talented once trained by their owners. They can dance, sing, utter words like "I Love You". Even more amazing is that they can also be trained to save lives.

Just like this hero Police dog.

Poncho and his Police officer buddy.

Poncho from Madrid Police Department is quite famous now on the internet. His video went viral - during a practice demonstration, Poncho's officer falls down, giving the trained dog an opportunity to spring into action.

The video of this spectacular police dog has millions of views across social media and it was unbelievable. Here how it goes - the dog runs in, nudges the officer, and then jumps up and down on his partner's chest and puts his head down to see if the officer is breathing.

Poncho goes through his routine several times before the officer gets up. The audience roars with applause and cheers. Poncho's partner rewards his canine friend for a job well done and for "saving" his life.

Although Poncho is very enthusiastic about his job, his performance is "just a stunt", police spokesman Fernando Rodriguez told Euronews.

Mock demonstration

“Poncho was trained to do this number for school visits, he doesn’t actually know how to perform CPR," said Rodriguez. "In fact, there’s no dog in the world who’s trained to do that."
Nevertheless, this dog knows that his human is in danger and his instinct is to help him and save his life.

Good job Poncho!
