Six Fire Trucks Called To Save Dog
Published: April 18, 2006
Firefighters rescued a shivering dog from a Canadian river after it was spotted clinging to an ice shelf.
Buddy, a Rottweiler-shepherd cross, had escaped from an Edmonton backyard early Sunday morning. While his owners searched the neighborhood, a passer-by spotted him in the icy water, 10 feet from the shore of the North Saskatchewan River.
Six fire trucks from three stations were dispatched to the river and four firefighters in a rescue boat eventually reached Buddy, pulled him from the river and wrapped him in a blanket.
Rescuers don’t know how long the dog had been in the water.
A fire captain said the dog seemed “pretty happy to be inside the warmth.”
