WATCH: Colorado Firefighter Rescues Dog Named Daisy Who Fell In Icy Pond
HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. (CBS4) - A team of first responders came to the rescue Wednesday when a large Colorado dog escaped from her backyard and fell into an icy pond. It happened in Highlands Ranch near the intersection of Summit View Parkway and Astorbrook Way.
After a South Metro Fire crew arrived on scene, one firefighter -- identified as Firefighter Bradberry -- put on an ice suit and waded into the pond where the dog, whose name is Daisy, was stuck. Her front paws were up on the ice, but the back half of her body was in the pond's cold water.
Bradberry then freed Daisy from the ice she was stuck in, broke through some more ice and eventually hauled her out of the pond after much struggle.
Daisy had a ruff morning after escaping from her backyard in Douglas County. She got stuck in an icy pond and her humans did the right thing by calling 911 and remaining on shore. Thankfully this muddy tail has a happy ending and Firefighter Bradberry gets a round of a-paws.
