Michigan man who fell into icy lake rescued after officer uses man’s dog to deliver rescue equipment

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — A man who fell through the ice on a frozen Michigan lake was rescued after a quick-thinking state police officer used the stranded man’s dog to get rescue equipment to him and drag him to safety. Michigan State Police say the 65-year-old Traverse City man fell through ice-covered Arbutus Lake on Thursday. The rescue captured on body-camera shows Officer Kammeron Bennetts enlisting the man’s dog, Ruby. He attached a rescue disc tethered to a rope to the dog’s collar and sent her back to the man, who was able to hang on and get pulled out over the thin ice.
