Responders save dog that falls through ice

Team work in a Rhode Island town led to a successful rescue of a dog this past weekend.

Fire crews and Hope Valley Ambulance Saturday afternoon were dispatched to 61 Camp Yawgoog Road in Hopkington for a dog that had fallen through the ice.

According to Hope Valley – Wyoming Fire, firefighters were able to locate and coordinate rescue of the dog via boat from across the pond. With a great team effort, the dog was successfully rescued and transferred to the Hopkinton Animal Control officer for transport to an animal hospital.
