The Utah Fire District has released footage of firefighters diving into an icy pond to rescue a dog stuck in frigid water over the weekend.
North Davis Fire District firefighters responded to Steed Pond in Clearfield after a dog named Bob was found trapped in a partially ice-covered lake, fire officials said.
“Bob the dog loves water, but after his polar crash, he was unable to go outside due to the ice shelf,” the fire district wrote on Facebook.
A firefighter named Logan wears a dry suit and is tethered to a rope apparatus, crawling across the ice on a snowy lake toward Bob, who keeps his head above the freezing water. I was able to do that.

Frightened, Bob appeared to become aggressive towards the firefighters, crawling backwards across the ice and growling at his rescuers. When the firefighter fell into the water and tried to grab Bob, the video showed the frightened dog trying to bite the rescuer.

“Don't worry, Bob! He'll save you!” a person off-camera can be heard shouting from the shore.
Logan's crew readied themselves on shore, and Logan grabbed Bob and pulled them safely across the ice shelf and onto harder ice. Bob was seen shaking off the cold water and running towards his owner.

“Firefighter Logan did an outstanding job helping Bob today,” the fire district said. “The rest of Shift B, who aren't on camera, are on shore keeping Logan and Bob safe.”
