Roseanne who is a resident of Long Grove Illinois called the firefighters of the same city on Friday morning when her dog named Belle who is a 120 pound Great Pyrenees who fell into an icy pond. Belle was in the backyard of her home when she fell into an icy pond barking for help when Roseanne called 911 since she was not able to save her pet by herself. The Long Grove Firefighters answered the emergency call for help as the firefighter named Lieutenant Khristine Mullen and her crew were able to get Belle out of danger in the nick of time since Belle had been in the pond for 30 minutes. Belle was reunited with Roseanne after Belle was taken care of by the first responders who took care of her needs. Link is cbsnews.com/news/s.. via @CBSChicago

Poor dog. I bet she was stressed. 30 minutes is a long time to be in cold water.

Poor Belle but lucky that 911 was able to rescue her from the icy water. I bet her owner was frantic until the rescuers arrived

Belle's owner was scared she would lose her dog.

Iam also h for Roseanne that the firefighters saved her dog since Great Pyrenees are huge dogs.

That is a large dog, and the firefighters did very well to rescue Belle, without needing to sound the bells on their truck, but maybe if they had of rushed there, with sirens blaring they might have gotten there earlier, as 30 minutes is a long time to spend in an icy pond.
