Police officer and dog team up to rescue man stuck in frozen Michigan lake

A man who fell through the ice on a frozen Michigan lake was rescued after a quick-thinking state police officer used the stranded man’s dog to get rescue equipment to him and pull the man to safety.

Michigan state police said bystanders called 911 on Thursday after the 65-year-old man fell through ice-covered Arbutus Lake. They praised the actions of officer Kammeron Bennetts, whose body-camera captured the rescue. The officer called the man’s dog, Ruby, and attached a rescue disc tethered to a rope to the dog’s collar. When the man called Ruby back to him, the officer was then able to pull him to the lake’s edge across the icy surface in East Bay Township.

  4. Seems like you guys might be missing – without these fast thinking police officers there would be no rescue. The dog is awesome, but the police officers saved this man’s life.

  10. Smart dog! Even when she wasn’t trained for this stuff she did great. I think my dog would’ve tried to leave with the disc as his new toy and hardly come back to me with it since he doesn’t want to share it 😂
