A Chicago cop saved a toddler's life on Saturday. Officer Ed Pakula just happened to be driving by a fast food restaurant when the boy's father flagged him down. The 21-month-old had stopped breathing and his eyes were rolled to the back of his head. Paklua quickly administered CPR, and to everyone's relief, the child finally revived. Whenever I read a rescue story like this, I always picture the hero just sort of flexing his muscles and saying "all in a good day's work!" before flying off (or driving away in his car). But this story is different. Pakula's hands were shaking from the experience, and it's not just because a child almost died in his arms. It's because Pakula is the father of a toddler near the same age.Image may be NSFW.
