The video begins as a man leans over the newborn pup as she lies very still on a kitchen counter.
He rapidly massages her stomach and pats her chest in an attempt to help the puppy breathe again.

The puppy then makes a strangled noise as the man performs mouth-to-mouth. He says: 'There we go! Come on!'
He continues stroking the newborn pup's stomach as she lies with her mouth open on the kitchen counter.
She then begins to wheeze and splutter as she finally gasps for breath. The man said: 'Come on, pretty girl. Wake up baby girl, come on.'

The boxer puppy is soon placed on the floor near to her mother. She is now breathing evenly on her own after a few tense minutes of CPR.
The wide-awake dog is then seen feeding alongside her brothers and sisters.
The man said: 'Now she's back to her full health. We need to be more careful with momma though - she keeps leaning on top of them.'
The boxer puppy had stopped breathing after its mother accidentally rolled on top of her when they were nursing earlier in the day.

'My momma boxer laid on top of one of her female puppies while they were nursing and accidentally suffocated her. When I came inside to check on the puppies I couldn't find one and realised what had happened,' the rescuer said.
'I'm not sure how long the puppy had stopped breathing but it was definitely a blue/purple in colour, I carried her to my kitchen and began CPR.
'After several minutes of giving breaths and stimulating the heart area, puppy finally caught her breath and began breathing on her own.'
