Now here is a police dog with a very special skill.
Poncho, is a trained rescue dog that can perform CPR on a patient.
CPR is short for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and involves pressing down on someone’s chest if they are unconscious, to try to restart their heart.
Poncho’s been taught to use his paws to do this.
He can also check for a pulse by putting his ear to his owner’s chest.
