Frozen in fear, dog rescued from river’s thin ice

Every dog lover can relate to the dilemma of this beautiful animal, stuck out on thin ice where animals love to venture until they finally catch the scent of fear. This guy was on the Credit River when Global News took and tweeted these pictures.  The dog could have been on ice right in South Bayview. We have lots. In this case residents spotted the dog and called Brampton rescue. It happened at Creditview Rd. and James Potter Rd. Firefighters were dispatched to the scene and the dog was safely rescued.  Wearing water suits and using safety ropes, two men carefully slid on the river’s icy surface until they were able to reach the dog. Once rescuers reached the dog, they wrapped the pet in a green blanket and pulled him to safety. The dog was taken to a local animal clinic and after a quick check-up, veterinarians determined the canine did not suffered any injuries. So far, the dog’s owner has not come forward to claim the pet, but authorities hope a happy reunion will soon take place.
