But can that sled dog do the Heimlich?

Owner says dog saved her life by doing the Heimlich.

Gotta love dogs. Even selfish little Selma (come on, you know I love my dog, but her self-preservation instinct is strong) has sometimes been remarkable - screaming at me to get out of the water before getting stuck in mud flat (people die that way), letting me know when I'm about to run my face into a porcupine, letting me know general danger (bears, angry moose, and wild turkeys - ok, maybe that was about her tummy), all sorts of things. But my favorite still is when she dragged a baby out of danger by the diaper. If I hadn't seen it, I would never believe it.

Would she do the Heimlich? I could see her using it as an excuse to jump on my chest if I hadn't shared whatever I was eating. She does know that she's a dog, but that doesn't prevent her from having trained Susan's last roommate to cook Selma's favorite food for Selma (who knew Selma was all about the curries?).

If I can raise human children to have the same level of self-esteem as my dog, they will be ok.
