Three firefighters used rope and their wisdom1 to save a 90pound dog that fell through the ice about 100 yards from shore on a western Michigan lake.
Wearing ice rescue gear2 and tethered3 together, they carefully walked onto White Lake in Muskegon Countys Whitehall and hauled4 the dog to safety.
White Lake Fire Chief Gregory Holman said the dog was unable to drag itself from the hole in the ice and was in distress5 when firefighters reached it Wednesday morning.
Holman said his firefighters will do their “best to rescue” a “family pet, like a dog”.
The 14yearold dog was given to an area shelter and its owner was later located. Shelter owner Lana Carson said the dog “kind of wandered6 off and found itself on the ice”.
