Throughout the clip, some men from the firefighter department and animal control were seen standing on a ladder submerged in the frozen river as the dog was spotted struggling to stay afloat on a chunk of ice.
“WPD, animal control and WFD teamed up for a pretty sweet rescue Monday afternoon. A labradoodle had gotten away from its owner while on a walk and ended up jumping into the freezing cold Detroit River. The poor pooch somehow managed to climb onto a chunk of ice but it was drifting away in the river while the dog was freezing. Our team was able to move the ice close to the riverbank and our FD snagged the dog around its neck with a “catchpole”. The rescuer did this while standing on a slippery ladder that was submerged in the river while his co-workers held onto him via a rope. Truly an amazing and awesome rescue. Our video captured the end of the rescue,” informed the caption.

The clip has garnered over 20,000 views and several reactions. People thanked the department for smoothly rescuing the animal. Many lauded the police officers for pulling off the operation in a risky situation.
