Man Brings Stillborn Puppy Back to Life in Viral Video

Liam Paws, known as @norfolk.paws.breeding on TikTok, has gained praise online after his quick thinking saved a stillborn puppy in a heart-stopping rescue witnessed by over 13 million users on the platform. Paws, based in the United Kingdom, is a midwife for canines, assisting in the birthing process. His recent viral moment occurred while he was aiding a French Bulldog mother at a client’s home. Despite misconceptions about Frenchies needing C-sections, Paws asserts they can give natural births, albeit with potential complications.

In this instance, it was the French Bulldog‘s first litter, and one of the puppies presented feet-first, a dangerous position for delivery. Despite the odds, Paws remained steadfast, employing his expertise to bring the stillborn pup back to life through stimulation and care, a process known as “working a pup.”

After 2 minuets and 3 seconds working on a still born puppy which had gotten stuck inside the birth canal, i was able to bring it back to life!!🥹🥹🥹 I honestly have no words to explain this feeling. The emotion I experienced the whole way through was like no other I’ve experienced before. 🥹🥹 #norfolkpawsbreeding🐾 #lovemyjob #npbbloodline🐾 #frenchie #frenchies #frenchiesoftiktok #newbornbaby #newbornpuppy #newbornpuppys #newbornfrenchies #newbornfrenchbulldog #deadpuppy #savingalife #savingapuppy #bringbacktolife #whelping #whelperlife #whelper #whelpingpuppies #whelperservice #notallheroeswearcapes
