Dog Rescued after Falling through Ice in Fredericton
Firefighters in Fredericton saved a dog that fell through thin Saint John River ice on Saturday morning. Fire officials tell the CCB the dog had wandered out 100-150 feet from shore off Woodstock Road in Fredericton when it fell through thin ice and could not climb out of the water. Firefighters used a rapid deployment water craft and were able to pull the dog on board. The canine was then taken to the vet to be checked out.
