Michigan police and other officials came to the rescue of a labradoodle stranded on a piece of ice in the Detroit River on Monday, February 28.

According to the Wyandotte Police Department, the dog jumped into the river after escaping from her owner, and managed to climb onto a drifting ice chunk.

“Our team was able to move the ice close to the riverbank, and our fire department snagged the dog around its neck with a ‘catchpole,’” wrote the police department. “The rescuer did this while standing on a slippery ladder that was submerged in the river while his coworkers held onto him via a rope.”
