Published: February 20, 2007
Firefighters in Greeley rescued a dog from the icy waters of a pond at the Two Rivers Park on Sunday afternoon.
The Union Colony Fire Rescue was called to the 1500 block of 65th Ave. when the dog, named Taz, ran into the open water during a walk with his owner.
Taz fell through the ice as he ran across the pond.
Firefighters saw Taz struggling to stay afloat and trying to pull himself out of the water when they arrived.
One minute after arriving, a rescue firefighter was on the ice and able to eventually help Taz out of the water.
Taz returned to his owner, Louis Maldanado, and firefighters wrapped him in a blanket and helped dry him.
Union Colony Fire Rescue said people whould remember the dangers posed by the combination of ice and open water in area lakes and ponds, especially as spring weather approaches and ice begins to weaken.
