The procedure is similar to that of mouth-to mouth-traditional for men, the main difference is that a person who performs the procedure will end the dog's mouth instead of offering encouragement in the dog's nose. The process sounds humorous in theory, but it works and how to mouth the nose of your pet can literally save your life.
