Three strangers rescue a dog that fell into an icy lake in Connecticut

I have always wondered why dogs like to take chances of running over icy waters since the chances of falling down into a lake that has thin ice can cause a near tragic event like what happened to a female dog named Charlie. Charlie managed to escape the grip of her owner at a dog park in Hamden Connecticut on Monday by running across a golf course before she ran into the thin ice of Lake Whitney when she fell through the ice. Three employees of the Lewis Tree Service heard the cries of Charlie as they decided to work together and rescue Charlie from passing away from drowning and freezing. The three gentlemen used a rope from the shore to the section where Charlie was struggling to stay afloat. One of the gentlemen managed to crawl on the rope to reach Charlie and get her out of the icy lake to safety. Charlie was taken to a local veterinary hospital to be treated for a minor injury to her paw that was injured when she tried to stay afloat by grabbing the ice on the lake. The good news is that Charlie will make a full recovery from her near death experience. What really amazes me of the employees of the Lewis Tree Service is that if another emergency that involves a dog struggling to stay afloat in the water or icy conditions, they would make an attempt to rescue the dog in a heartbeat. Now that is devotion to saving dogs in trouble.
