County Rescue Squad Members preparing to unload the boat into
the icy pond to rescue one of two family dogs (Midnight), who
fell into a neighbor's pond February 2, 2007.
Rescue
members unloading the boat. This was done by hand due to no ramps
being available. A rope was tied to the boat as a safety and
because of the ice, it also provided a quicker means to retrieve
the boat back to shore to be able to provide resuscitation efforts
to attempt to revive the animal.
