Do you have a pet? How far would you go to save it? A woman in Santa Cruz, California, used CPR (the technique of doing chest compressions and breathing into the nose) to save her Italian greyhound’s life after she found the dog hanging out of the window of a car. The dog, it seems, was attached to a leash to keep it in the car, but somehow the dog had gotten out of the window. The woman was lucky because the Veterinary Information Network said CPR is often not successful on pets. (by Prof. Carmella Lieske )

********************
One of the events of this year will undoubtedly be the Chilean Miner’s rescue which became a worldwide event. The whole event was followed by millions like an on-going drama. One of the most important reasons for this news story becoming so widely watched is the hope that humans can sometimes beat nature. Those miners should have died down there but for some reason they survived, and there is nothing better than a tale with a happy ending. (by Prof. Simon Smith)
