An east Hull man has told how he gave his greyhound the kiss of life when she suffered a heart attack.
Trevor Jackson, 57, was walking his pet, Princess, in the streets around his home in Southcoates Lane on Thursday, January 26 when she suffered a sudden heart attack and collapsed.
Fearing for her life, Trevor flagged down the first car he could find. He says two women, possibly in their 20s, stopped immediately in New Bridge Road and drove him straight to a nearby vet while he gave his pet mouth-to-mouth resuscitation in the back of the car.

After a check-up Princess has now been given the all-clear but Trevor was told that she was just minutes from death.
Bookie Trevor now wants to track down the women who helped them so he can express his gratitude in person.
"I just want to say 'thank you' to them," he said. "It's really quite emotional for me really. It's a memory I've got for life now, and I don't want to not know who it was who helped me.
"It was really scary. I could see straight away that Princess was dying and her face was turning blue in the car. I was just desperately trying to keep her awake."
He said he feared for Princess' life after she collapsed.
"It was around 4.30pm when it happened and I had to get out of the car and run the rest of the way because you can imagine what the traffic was like on Holderness Road at that time," he said.
"I took her straight into the vets and they gave her an injection, medication, some fluids and oxygen.
"I took her for a check-up on Thursday and she's been given the all-clear. There's no lasting effect. I couldn't be more pleased.
"There was no time to stop and talk to the women, but they've helped save her life. The vets told me that she was minutes away from dying."
