Knowing all these things really build confidence that if any thing ever happened, we could do your our best for our dog. Another informative, helpful lens of yours. The video was close to having our own hands on experience. Is there a way to give more than 5 stars?

My wife once inadvertently stepped on our small pup. Being a nurse she gave it CPR and then took it to the vet. It turned into a grand dog and I thought she was wasting her time, just goes to show, so a great informative lens.
