ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Anne Arundel County Fire & Rescue crews saved a stranded dog from an icy creek on Monday.
A chocolate lab named Gizmo got stuck on the totally frozen Luce creek.
"Gizmo went out to go potty and when his mommy didn’t hear him back at the door she went to check and heard him barking down the hill," the Edgewater Volunteer Fire Department said in a Facebook post. "It was a 200 foot drop at 60 degree grade."
After spending about an hour on the ice, the pup was pulled to safety using a Stokes basket.
"He was alert and barking but couldn’t get up or crawl," the fire department added. "He was hypothermic but ate a treat."
After a trip to the Anne Arundel Veterinary Emergency Clinic, Gizmo was finally able to stand.
The Edgewater Volunteer Fire Department posted these photos of the furry fella receiving medical treatment on social media.
