Firefighters heroically rescued a helpless dog trapped after falling 10 foot into an ice-covered pool. Animal shelter Pound Buddies received several "frantic" calls about a dog trapped in the old water filtration pond. The dog was discovered balancing on a thin layer of ice covering the surface of the 8-12ft deep pond. Pound Buddies, based in Michigan, USA, called in the Muskegon Heights Fire Department - which arrived "within minutes" - to rescue the pup. Video footage shows the moment Lieutenant John Kriger climbs over the wall and gains the dog’s trust with a treat. He then grabs the dog and carries him up the ladder and over the wall to safety. The pup was later checked out and found to be completely unharmed - despite the 10ft fall into the pond.
