Police officer rescues dog from frozen lake!

A police officer in Hazlet Township, New Jersey rescued a dog (Taffy) after her owner tripped and lost her leash while Taffy tried to chase a goose on the lake. More from CBS News:

“A police officer in New Jersey took the plunge to help rescue a dog that found itself stranded in frigid waters in Monmouth County.

The Hazlet Township Police Department shared video of the icy encounter on Facebook. In the clip, Patrolman Doug Centrone is seen crawling across a thin sheet of ice on the partially frozen lake at Veteran’s Park before entering the water. He then lifts a dog named Taffy back onto the ice so she can run to shore.

According to the department, Patrolman Centrone is part of the agency’s Maritime Emergency Response Team and was able to quickly get on the proper gear and rescue Taffy.”

Great job Ptl. Centrone!
