Dog CPR was part of the content of the slightly weird but fairly useful short course I did years ago on running a pet-care business.  Included lots of anecdotal 'evidence' of the number of dogs saved - or lost that could have been saved.  I didn't know it was a thing until I did the course (sheltered life).

I didn’t go as I don’t qualify for the research. I’ve got a first aid certificate (humans) and this is for those with no prior training
