A young Girl Scout saved her father’s life using CPR — just days after learning it.
Vada Carawan, 11, sprung into action after seeing dad Clint Carawan having a heart attack on the floor of their home in Virginia just 11 days after she first practiced CPR on a dummy during a Girl Scout training session, WAVY reported.
“Of course, it was scary,” Vada recalled, saying her panic initially made her forget her new life-saving skill. “And I started tearing up and I was like, ‘What do I do?’ Like, for a minute there, I was in complete shock. And then I was like, ‘Heart attack … heart attack, 911,” she told the outlet about last month’s scare.

“Maggie, my dog, was freaking out,” said Vada. “She was trying to wake him up, like, put her paw on there, like trying to wake him up.”
