Firefighters rescued a dog from the icy Otonabee River in Peterborough’s south-end early on Thursday.
Crews were called to the river near Wilson Street around 1 a.m.
A firefighter crawled out onto the ice to get to the dog near the ice shelf, then got into the water to help get it out and onto the shore.
It is unclear how long the dog was in the water.
