The dogs were then safely brought back to their owners waiting ashore.
Ottawa Fire Services says neither of the dogs was injured.
They are also warning people that due to warming temperatures, no ice is safe to stand on at this time.
Pet owners should be monitoring their dogs and making sure they’re on leashes while near waterways.
