Firefighters in Revere, Massachusetts pulled off a dramatic rescue of a man and his two dogs Thursday.
Albert Sheriden was walking his dogs Lola and Thunder by the marsh that surrounded their home. The snow was piled so high, the trio unwittingly walked right over a five-foot fence and the dogs ended up in the freezing water.
Lola and Thunder got away from Sheriden and climbed onto a piece of ice that floated over 150 metres away from the shore line.

Sheriden waded into the frozen waters to try and save his dogs , but had to be rescued by emergency workers when he started feeling chest pains.
It took two firefighters equipped with survival suits and an ice sled 90 minutes to coax the two stranded dogs to safety.
“I’m so relieved,” Albert’s wife Wendy told WHDH. “Look at Revere’s finest right here. I don’t know how I’m ever going to thank them.”
