We have heard of numerous stories of dogs saving their owners lives. This is just the opposite which tells of a man saving a dog with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.Ducks and geese in the open water had drawn Lucy into the lake. Dog paddling couldn't keep Lucy the dog from nearly drowning in the icy lake.
So owner and disabled Air Force veteran Randy Gurchin edged onto the ice at Sarpy County's Hawaiian Village and pulled the pup from the frigid water.
The wintry water paralyzed the puppy, he said. She was unresponsive and had a blue face and paws by the time Gurchin pulled her out. Gurchin closed Lucy's mouth, put his mouth over her nose and started breathing into her lungs and pushing on her chest.
After about a minute, he said, Lucy began breathing shallowly.
