I once managed to "Heimlich" a friend's infant by using 2 fingers under her ribcage, so I actually might have figured out a way to dislodge the choker food from the puppy.

OTOH, I am very careful with little ones and pets, so the pup probably would not have had a chance to gobble oversized food in a way that could choke him. I am all too aware that ordinary things can become a danger to an animal or a small child.

Did you notice the puppy's male owner was trying to give him mouth to mouth? Those two people do love their little guy.
