It tugged at the heart strings but honestly it illustrates one reason dogs are weaker today. Who knows what was wrong with that pup. Its no accident it stopped breathing. Pups are revived, babied and then bred. They pass on whatever weakness they had. Far too many breeders do this and they dishonor the dogs in doing so.

There is a more effective way to revive a puppy/ Laying it on its side and rubbing it takes way too long and doesn't clear out the lungs. Hold the puppy on its side, head down roll its body like it was an accordian roll the puppies head and spine to make a circle out of the whole puppy gently stretch the puppy out, head down then roll it back so the head is between the hind legs, like playing an accordian. After a couple of times of doing that, still holding the puppy head down, put your finger in its mouth and gently swing the whole puppy down toward the ground and then bring it back up and do it again, then clean out the mouth and nose and go back to the acordian roll, make sure the head is lower than the rest of the body. Sometimes you have to pinch the loose skin on the shoulder to make the puppy scream. I have watched our friend Diane do that with puppies for 20 minutes, making it breathe, even if not a steady breathing, but little gasps. One other trick she has used is put the puppy on a flat board, taped with head down and let it fight the upside down position for a minute or so. Don't do that until the puppy has been breathing although unevenly. Let the mother lick the puppy face but do not give her the puppy until it is breathing well and evenly. Then get it nursing as quickly as possible as that also stimulates the entire body. Until the puppy is breathing well, keep it a little on the cool side, then you can warm it up on a warming pad, or, better yet snuggle the puppy and put it between the bitches hind legs. The discharge from the mother will encourage the bitch to lick the pup. I know that she has revived a number of puppies that have been in the birth canal for too long
Her policy is IT'S NOT DEAD UNTIL I SAY IT IS DEAD!!! And she doesn't give up for at least an hour. Actually I think she has only one she couldn't revive in all the years she has bred dogs. I wish I had a video of her working ona puppy,

You may be right, as that puppy did not look as if it was just born. Looked more like it was a week or so old. The bitch was a Boxer of normal color, the puppy was white, which is associated with several genetic defects in Boxers, whose standard allows for tan, or bridle marking with some white permitted. White is a disqualification, as it is often connected to deafness and blindness, but also heart defects. The description I posted was for puppies that were just born, not a puppy that was as old as this puppy appeared to be.
There was no evidence of an umbilical cord, part of which would still be attached and there would be a small amount of blood on the end of the cord.
You will also notice that there is another white one, but with a black eye patch. It is always possible that the litter was an accidental breeding of a boxer to a "visiting salesman" of unknown parentage. No breeder that I know of would intentionally breed two animals that carry the white gene because of the genetic problems associated with the color in the breed. There are producers of puppies (I don't call them "Breeders" because they are not breeding for the betterment of the breed) who advertise "rare colors" for exhorbitant prices to sucker the uninformed. There are also people who advertise "double purebred"puppies, mix breeds of two different breeds, a mutt by any other name is still a mutt. They often make great pets, and deserve a good home, just don't pay a lot of money for them.
