In a heart-pounding incident in Maine, a golden retriever found itself in hot water—literally—after crashing through the ice of a frozen pond. Its frantic owners had no choice but to call 911, hoping the firefighters would arrive before their beloved pup faced a serious case of hypothermia. Dressed in bright orange wetsuits, the emergency team sprang into action, with one brave rescuer sliding across the ice to reach the dog that was surprisingly keeping its head above the cold water.
The tense moment turned into a triumphant rescue as the firefighter secured the dog around the neck and signaled to pull the duo back to safety. Much to everyone’s relief, both the dog and the rescuer emerged unscathed and were checked for any signs of hypothermia. As the relieved owners returned home with their pup, one can only imagine the thoughts running through their minds—especially when dinner rolls around and it’s no-bones night for their adventurous golden friend!
