HUNTERTOWN, Ind. (WANE) — Rescuers pulled a dog from a pond Wednesday after it fell through the ice – and it was all captured on video.

Huntertown Fire Department rescuers and Northeast Allen County Fire and EMS crews were dispatched Wednesday to a pond just off the 16600 block of Pine Ridge Pass off Vandolah Road on a call for an ice rescue of a dog. There, crews worked to pull the dog from the cold water.

In a video shared by the Huntertown Fire Department on Facebook, one rescuer paddles a raft out to the dog while another breaks away ice in front of him to reach it. The dog is eventually pulled aboard the raft and taken to the shore.

The fire department wrote in the post that the dog received a “thorough drying and warming up” and it was reunited with its owner.
