Firefighters save dog who fell into icy waters of Lake Tapps

East Pierce crews were dispatched to a service call for a dog on the ice on Lake Tapps near the 20400 block of Church Lake Dr E in Bonney Lake.
Callers to 911 reported seeing the dog fall through the ice twice and managed to pull itself out but would not come to shore when called.
Firefighters wore dry suits and were creative using ropes and body boards to reach the dog. At one point the pooch was about 400 feet from shore.
The female dog is not micro-chipped, looks to be about a year old, and possibly a Shar Pai mix breed. She is safe at the Metro Animal Services shelter in Puyallup.
Special thanks to Metro Animal Services and Bonney Lake Police Department for their assistance!Show more
