A Terrier has been praised for his bravery after he saved the life of a young boy in France.
The incident occurred on Sunday night when the boy was playing football with some friends in the town of Nantes, near Paris.
As the game progressed, the boy began to feel unwell and collapsed onto the ground.
His friends tried to help him up but were unable to do so as he was too weak to move.
That's when a passer-by, who had witnessed the incident, rushed over to help.
He called emergency services and soon arrived at the scene.
The passer-by noticed that the boy was not breathing and immediately started CPR.
He continued until paramedics arrived and took over the treatment.
It is believed that the passer-by's actions saved the boy's life.
In a statement, the boy's mother said: "I am so grateful to the passer-by who helped my son and I cannot thank them enough."
She also thanked the paramedics for their quick response and for saving her son's life.
The Terrier who saved the boy's life is being hailed as a hero by many people.
One Twitter user wrote: "What a brave Terrier! He saved a boy's life. What a great example of what it means to be a hero."
Another person added: "This Terrier deserves a medal for his bravery. He truly saved someone's life."
The Terrier's owner, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "I'm just glad that we could help out."
The incident has sparked a debate about the role of pets in emergency situations.
Some argue that animals should not be allowed to perform rescues while others believe that they can make a big difference in emergencies.
However, many agree that pets have the potential to save lives if they are trained properly.
In this case, the Terrier was trained to perform CPR and was able to help save the boy's life.
Overall, the incident serves as a reminder of the important role that pets can play in emergency situations.
They may not be able to save everyone, but they can make a big difference in certain circumstances.
