Three firefighters used rope and their wisdom1 to save a 90pound dog that fell through the ice about 100 yards from shore on a western Michigan lake.
Wearing ice rescue gear2 and tethered3 together, they carefully walked onto White Lake in Muskegon Countys Whitehall and hauled4 the dog to safety.
White Lake Fire Chief Gregory Holman said the dog was unable to drag itself from the hole in the ice and was in distress5 when firefighters reached it Wednesday morning.
Holman said his firefighters will do their “best to rescue” a “family pet, like a dog”.
The 14yearold dog was given to an area shelter and its owner was later located. Shelter owner Lana Carson said the dog “kind of wandered6 off and found itself on the ice”.
三名消防隊員用繩索和他們的智慧拯救了一條重達(dá)90磅的狗。這條狗掉進(jìn)了密歇根西部湖泊一個離岸100碼的冰層中。
消防隊員們穿戴著搶險救援設(shè)備,串成一行,小心翼翼地走在馬斯基根縣懷特霍爾的白湖上,把狗拖回了安全處。
白湖消防隊長格雷戈里·霍爾曼說:“這條狗沒法自己從冰洞里爬出來,消防隊員周三早上來救它時,它正處于險境中?!?/p>
霍爾曼說,他的消防隊員會竭盡全力救援諸如狗之類的家庭寵物。
這條14歲大的狗被送到了一個救助站,隨后人們聯(lián)系上了他的主人。救助站長拉娜·卡森說這條狗“迷路之后發(fā)現(xiàn)自己走到了冰面上”。
