A great moment.

Firefighters on Lake Michigan risk their lives to save a beloved family pet who had fallen through the ice, and we’re happy to report a happy ending.

A police officer captured the footage on video as rescuers from the White Lake, Michigan Fire Authority respond to an emergency call.

With only minutes to get to the dog, whose cries for help were growing more and more lethargic, they managed to bring him back to shore.
