[nagdu] Choking!

[Snow White Dove]

Sorry if I'm a little late on this subject.  But there is a thing you can do it your dog is choking.

You take your arms and put them around the dog about t little ways above the privates, kind of between there and the sternum you gently lift up on the dogs rear end and whatever is choking the dog should pop out.

That's what I learned from Southeastern.
