Two dogs fell through the thin ice on Deep Creek Lake on Sunday, and a number of professional rescue personnel came to their rescue. A call came into 911 at about 6 p.m. reporting a dog having possibly fallen through the ice, and that the animal had been barking for some hours. The dog fell in around the Patterson Marina in the North Glade Cove, according to the report. Rescue personnel responded and found not one but two trapped canines barely keeping their heads above the frigid water.

Ice water rescue technicians from both the Deep Creek and Deer Park volunteer fire companies were deployed onto the ice and into the water to save the dogs. The animals were retrieved and immediately taken to the Pineview Veterinary Hospital for treatment. One of the animals is pictured above being cared for. Also responding to the scene were the Southern and Northern Garrett rescue squads. Rescue personnel urge pet-owners to be alert when their animals are near the ice, as it can obviously lead to perilous situations. Photo courtesy of Matthew Krause, area firefighter/paramedic.
