Anyone who has been to a CPR class is familiar with the basics of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. First you'll check to be sure the patient has a clear airway, then check to see if the patient is breathing, check whether the patient has a heartbeat and, if the patient awakens during the process, be careful that you don't get bitten by the patient.

and certification. If you're interested in taking these classes yourself, contact your local Red Cross. The life you save may be your dog's.
