Firefighters save dog while braving icy 8-foot waves of Lake Superior
Firefighters from Duluth, Minnesota, braved the icy waves of Lake Superior to rescue a dog that had jumped in on Thursday, December 7.
According to the Duluth Fire Department, the dog had escaped his leash and jumped into the water near the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge. When the emergency services arrived “the dog was struggling in 8-foot-plus waves in the middle of the ship canal.”
Firefighters in “ice rescue suits” entered the water and “fought their way through the waves to find the dog but were struggling to see him due to the large waves and limited light,” the fire department said.
The dog was “large, scared and was struggling,” resulting in the crew and dog “being swept in towards the bay” until eventually crew members in a boat were able to get them all safely out.
“The owners and dog were transported to their vehicle by Duluth Fire and the dog was showing marked signs of improvement. He had stopped shivering, was able to walk on his own and was waging his tail as he jumped into his owner’s car,” the Duluth Fire Department said.
