Police officer and dog team up to rescue man stuck in frozen Michigan lake

Guardian News published this video item, entitled “Police officer and dog team up to rescue man stuck in frozen Michigan lake” – below is their description.

A man who fell through the ice on a frozen Michigan lake was rescued after a quick-thinking state police officer used the stranded man’s dog to get rescue equipment to him and pull the man to safety. Michigan state police said bystanders called 911 on Thursday after the 65-year-old man fell through ice-covered Arbutus Lake. They praised the actions of officer Kammeron Bennetts, whose body-camera captured the rescue. The officer called the man’s dog, Ruby, and attached a rescue disc tethered to a rope to the dog’s collar. When the man called Ruby back to him, the officer was then able to pull him to the lake’s edge across the icy surface in East Bay Township
