  • Police rescue of a Trenton rescue dog caught in ice water.
  • This is a reminder of vigilance, especially in winter.

Trapped in freezing water, the dog was fighting.

But two police officers in Trenton, who arrived just in time, came in after him.

Their selfless courage not only saved the Black Labrador – and probably his owner, who may have risked his own life to continue after him – but is exactly what the public should expect from their officers, the police chief Michael Hawkins told Free Press.

“We will not get to the ends to protect people, animals and anyone in our community,” Hawkins said, noting that the rescue on Monday night is a “work they do every day” and, though not really needed thanks, always is evaluated.

The department did not hesitate to utter the video for rescue and camera after the body, edited only for brevity, on social media, most of all because, the boss said: “People love animals” and especially of dogs.

Neither the name of the owner or the dog is released.

But rescue was a reminder to be alert, especially with an approaching snowstorm.

According to police, the dog had broken through the ice in a canal in Elizabeth Park around 5:20 pm after receiving a 911 call, CPL. Seth Bond and officer Michael Bedsun stripped off his outfit and slipped into the deep waist water without a shirt.

In one -minute video, you can hear one of the officers saying, “I’ll take care of everyone.” And then they both enter the frigid water as they whistle the dog. They praise him, they take him out and keep him from hypothermia.

The dog, the police said, seems to be about 70-80 pounds.

“If you see a person or animal on a disaster, call 911,” police said in his rescue message on Tuesday. He also urged residents to “avoid being at risk by trying to save.”

In this case, the dog was rescued without injury and reunited with a thankful owner.
