Full Story:
WEST MONROE, La. -- The "C" in CPR could stand for canine -- at least in the case of Stephen "Odie" Odom.

The Monroe, La., area firefighter saved a dog with mouth-to-snout resuscitation.

Odom pulled two small dogs from carriers in a smoke-filled bedroom.



One of the terriers wasn't breathing. Odom first tried putting his oxygen mask on the pooch. When that didn't work, he tried CPR.

He said after about a minute of blowing air into the dog's snout and chest compressions, it started breathing on its own.

Another firefighter said the pup should now be named "Lucky."
