Yesterday afternoon this adventurous pup was tired and trapped in the cold water at Sterne Park in @CityofLittleton. People on shore did the right thing by staying off the ice and calling 911. A Firefighter quickly and safely provided a little help and thankfully the dog was ok. pic.twitter.com/pU5Auui8UT

In a similar incident, an ice skater from Canada risked his life to save a family of deers stuck on a frozen lake. The video he recorded on December 3 has garnered over 77k views on YouTube.
The incident which happened on the Lake of Woods near Kenora, Northern Ontario had three deers-mother and her two fauns-trapped in the middle of a frozen lake. Peterson was reportedly in the middle of his lunch break when he spotted a family of deers. He then skated across the ice bed and managed to tie ropes around them and drag them back to the solid land.
