Summary

  Cindy Dumlop, a disabled woman in a wheelchair, heard her dog jump into the swimming pool and knew something was wrong when she did not hear the dog splashing in the water. She found the dog running back and forth by the pool and then saw her young daughter Kyla floating unconscious in the water. There was no one else available nearby to help. So Cindy drove the wheelchair into the pool and rescued Kyla out of the water with great diffculty, injuring herself in the process. But the little girl was still not breathing, her eyes were closed, and her lips were blue. So the mother began puffng air into her mouth. Finally Kyla came to life and started breathing. Then Cindy phoned for help and they were sent to a hospital. Both of them recovered completely from their desperate ordeal.
