Jett is a three-year-old German Shepherd. He lives in Crimora with his family, but they almost lost him after a freak accident on Wednesday. "He's really playful. He loves playing with balls," Bliss Nuckols said. "That's what he'll do all day." Nuckols was playing with Jett on Wednesday when the unimaginable happened.
"My daughter calls and says Jett swallowed the ball and we can't get it out,'" Teresa Perkins said. "'He can't breathe.'" Perkins, Nuckols' mom, is Jett's owner. She was on her way home when she got the phone call. She called the vet, who told her to bring Jett in.
"I put him in the back seat and I flew down the road," Perkins said. "I was going down 340, and I get to a construction site. Well, I had been listening to Jett the whole time, and he was gasping for breath. Well, he stopped." Meanwhile, Jay Johnson and Cavaja Holt just happened to be in the right place at the right time, and were working at that construction site.
The two men knew they had to help. Holt opened the back door and reached in to help the dog. "My dog was dead," Perkins said. "So he opened his mouth. He grabbed the ball out, and he got the ball out of his mouth. Well, he still wasn't breathing, so he started doing CPR. He was blowing in his mouth. All of a sudden, he held his head up and said he's breathing. He's awake."
After her dog was saved, Perkins quickly continued on to the vet to make sure Jett was okay. Later on, Nuckols made a post on Facebook searching for the men. Holt was also looking for her. On Thursday, they met in person, and Perkins and her family were able to thank Holt for saving Jett's life.
