A woman from Salem, Oregon, saved her 3-year-old pet bearded dragon by
performing CPR after finding him blue and floating unconscious in his
pool on Tuesday.
Sherrie Dolezal, 62, performed chest compressions on the lizard, hung him upside down to clear water from his mouth and blew air into his mouth. Soon, he opened his eyes and started to move.
Dolezal, who calls herself a reptile rescuer, keeps nearly two dozen other lizards at her home. The one she saved with CPR is named Del Sol.
Dolezal said she put Del Sol in his pool but had forgotten to put rocks
in it so he could climb out. She'd been having a crazy day with errands
and pet care, and when she returned to find Del Sol, she said she
thought he was dead but tried CPR anyway.
