Coast Guard rescues dog from icy water in Michigan
A dog drowning in icy water was saved by a Coast Guard crew in Michigan. And it was all caught on camera!

An amazing rescue was caught on camera in Michigan as a Coast Guard crew battled chunks of ice and frigid temps to save a dog from drowning.

The pooch fell into the Frankfort Channel Monday and got trapped between chunks of ice two feet thick in some places.

A petty officer swam 150 yards to reach the dog, then swam back to shore where his partners helped pull the animal to safety.
