In an unwitnessed arrest the outcome is usually grim.

Scroll down to the statistics.. CPR alone without defibrillation within 5 minutes only has about a 1-2% survival rate.

If the dog wasn't there it wouldn't have made any difference.

If the deceased had the choice between that 1-2% chance at life, I bet she'd take it.
