DOGGONE IT: IT WAS COLD
As the air temperature hovered around 20 degrees brutal wind chills, the Canton Fire Department got a call Tuesday from a good samaritan who said a dog was struggling in the frigid river then it got stuck in the icy riverbank
As photos from the Canton Fire Department show, first responders entered the cold water and carried the dog to safety and to warmth.
CUTE CLICHES
The Canton Fire Department had some fun with its post about the adventure on their social media page, writing that firefighters:

“Were met with quite a RUFF situation and quickly found out that the rescue would be BONE chilling and Chief 1 knew his only PAW-sible option was to dispatch our water rescue team. It is unknown how long the K9 was trapped on the riverbank, but would have no doubt turned into a PUP-sickle if not for the good samaritan who COLLIED it in.”

On Saturday, the Canton Fire Department said the dog was microchipped and returned to its owner.
