Abington Firefighters Rescue Dog From Frozen Pond

ABINGTON, MA — A dog is now home recovering with its owner after falling through an icy pond at an Abington park Monday.

Firefighters responded to Ames Nowell State Park after receiving a call just after 12 p.m. saying a dog needed to be rescued.

Firefighters say the dog had run out onto Cleveland Pond after separating from its owner and fell into the water after the ice cracked under pressure.

The two firefighters put on rescue suits and were able to grab the dog from the icy water and bring it to shore, firefighters said.

"The owner and happy companion were reunited to spend the remainder of the day together warming up," the Abington Fire Department wrote on Twitter.
