Dramatic operation in Munich: dog swallows ball and suffocates
The control center received a dramatic emergency call.
“It was reported in a panic that a dog had swallowed a ball and was choking on it,” it continues.
The dispatcher took several measures to remove the ball from the dog's body using a Heimlich maneuver and to revive him.
At the same time, animal rescue was informed.
Due to the longer journey time for the animal rescue service, an emergency fire engine from the nearby fire station and a small alarm vehicle were sent to the scene.

When emergency services arrived, they came across a group of people on the recreational area.
A family tried to revive the dog.
The mother of the family tried to remove the ball from the dog's mouth and was bitten several times by the panicked dog.
The rescue workers treated the wounds and called an ambulance for the 46-year-old dog owner.
After initial treatment, she was taken to a Munich clinic.
The ball could only be removed when the dog was already lying lifeless on the ground.
Unfortunately, all further attempts at resuscitation were unsuccessful.
