South Carolina lifeguard saves English Lab after stingray cuts dog's stomach on beach
Reported byThe Cool Down ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Lifeguard Arsham Mirzaei applied emergency medical training to stabilize Finn, a 2-and-a-half-year-old English Lab severely injured by a stingray on Hilton Head Island, stopping bleeding, fashioning a makeshift bandage from a T-shirt and heat pack, and enabling the dog's transport to hospital for stitches. Finn recovered well with minimal scarring.
