Simba Clearly Paid Attention During CPR Training
In a heartwarming and hilarious turn of events, a golden retriever named Simba has taken the internet by storm — not just for his cuddly charm, but for his seemingly professional CPR skills. A recent video showing Simba jumping into action during a mock emergency has left viewers both amused and deeply impressed. Clearly, this clever pup paid attention during CPR training!
It all started when Simba’s owner, a paramedic, began practicing a routine CPR drill at home. As the owner lay flat on the ground pretending to need assistance, Simba suddenly sprang into action. With focused intensity, the dog placed his front paws on the chest of his “patient” and began rhythmically pressing — mimicking chest compressions almost perfectly. As if that weren’t adorable enough, Simba even barked loudly between compressions, as if calling for help.
The scene had all the elements of an emergency response — energy, urgency, and determination — with Simba proudly leading the rescue. It was a brilliant combination of training, instinct, and a dog’s unwavering desire to help.
Simba’s CPR performance wasn’t just a funny trick. His actions highlighted the effectiveness of positive training and the intelligence dogs can display when given the right motivation. Simba had been exposed to CPR techniques through observation and interactive training sessions with his owner. What no one expected was just how well he’d internalize the moves — or how confidently he’d “apply” them when needed.
The video has since gone viral, with millions of viewers sharing their admiration for Simba’s skills. Many commenters joked that Simba deserves an honorary EMT badge, while others praised the bond between the dog and his owner that made such behavior possible.
While Simba may not be certified to save lives just yet, his instincts — and that impeccable form — are certainly worth applauding. More importantly, he’s inspired others to consider training their pets in basic behavior that can be helpful during emergencies, like fetching a phone or barking on command.
Simba’s moment in the spotlight reminds us of just how much our furry companions are capable of — and how far love and a little training can go.
