Dog Stranded Alone on the Thin Ice of a Michigan River Saved by Animal-Loving Rescuers

A heroic rescue team has saved a dog that found itself stranded alone on the dangerously thin ice of Michigan’s Detroit River.

The Michigan Humane Animal Search and Rescue (ASAR) Team – the only organization in the region equipped to handle a water rescue, MLive reports – was then contacted to assist in safely securing the dog.

Upon their arrival, the ASAR team quickly reached the small island dog swam to, bringing flotation equipment, cold weather gear, and various animal rescue items with them.
