Firefighters rescue dog that fell through ice in Braintree
The pup was holding on with his front paws when first responders arrived.
A dog named Rupert was rescued by firefighters in Braintree early Wednesday morning after the pup fell through ice.
The Braintree Fire Department responded around 8:30 a.m. to the end of Edgehill Road, according to the department. There, they found the small dog a few feet out in the water, holding on to the broken ice with his paws.
A firefighter donned a wetsuit and made his way out to Rupert with a rope and lifesaving ring, then carried the pup back to shore, the department said.
“Rupert’s owner was waiting anxiously on the shore and they were happily reunited,” they said.
