Firefighters took an icy plunge to save a Massachusetts dog on Sunday afternoon.

A woman's five-year-old Golden Retriever, Crosby, fell through the icy Charles River during a walk, Boston's WCVB.com reports.

The Wellesley Police Department stated on their website that the dog was trapped by ice nearly 50 yards offshore.

Firefighter Dave Papazian donned a cold water survival suit to break through the ice and swim to the dog, with the assistance of Fire Lieutenant Paul Delaney. Other officers and firefighters pulled the team back in and dried off the dog.

1. Now that's what I call a chilly dog.

Rescued by cops or by firefighters? I'm sensing a cover-up.

10. I've seen dogs fall through the ice ...

... or sometimes, go for a swim, and not be able to get back on shore because of ice. It's a hazard dog owners should be warned to avoid, especially if your dog has no fear of cold water.
