NBC News: When Canadian animal welfare officer Gary Van Spender responded to a call of a bear in a tree he never suspected how the story would end.



The British Columbia officer shot the bear with a tranquilizer dart, but when it fell to the ground he noticed it wasn’t breathing. As you can see on this cell phone video, he decided he had to perform CPR.
