Chief Deputy Dog Warden Saves German Shepherd Trapped on Frozen Black River
Buddy the German Shepherd somehow got himself stuck on the ice on the Black River in Elyria, Ohio, on Jan. 6, 2014. He got down a 100-foot embankment but then couldn’t get himself back up it again.
The poor dog paced helplessly back and forth on the ice for two hours in frigid two-degree weather. Finally, someone noticed him and called Nelson Delgado, the Lorain County Chief Deputy Dog Warden.
The ice was too thin to support Delgado, so he used a trick he’s employed before – he leaned out over the ice, hanging onto a tree, and used a leash like a lasso. He then pulled Buddy to safety. Watch the rescue here:
Delgado is sure Buddy was grateful. Safely at home again, Buddy licked Delgado’s hand as he left.
“He was like saying, ‘Hey, thank you,’” Delgado told the ChronicleOnline. “He was very happy to be back home.”
