Mollypops performs the Heimlich manoeuvre

A Carmarthenshire woman has been saved from choking on a sweet by her pet dog, according to media reports.

Springer spaniel Mollypops performed the Heimlich manoeuvre, repeatedly "bashing" her owner in the back with her paws after she began choking.

According to the BBC, owner Rachel Hayes, 40, from Drefach Felindre, rewarded her hero pet with a squeaky chicken toy and some dog treats.

She told BBC Radio 5 Live's Drive: "I'm living alone so there's nobody that could help me... it was only thanks to Mollypops I'm here to tell the story."
