A puppy in Turkey’s Black Sea province of Rize was saved by a passerby from choking to death.
Ömer Yılmaz was called for help by a shopkeeper, Yakup Gör, who was feeding a puppy and noticed that the baby animal was not breathing.
A video which showed Yılmaz making efforts to resuscitate the puppy drew huge attention on social media on March 26.
After his successful intervention, the puppy seemed well, although quite shocked.
