To turn the saying around and make it more suitable for this case, we shall say that Firefighter David Ferola has become the best of friends for two dogs that were rescued from and icy pond on Cape Cod.
The two Labrador retrievers fell into the pond after chasing birds into the small lake and its ice cracked under their own weight.
In regions were temperatures go down to the freezing stages of lakes and ponds it is more than vital for the animals to remain leashed at all times.
Deputy Fire Chief Craig Whitely said after the rescued dogs were returned to their owner that a new leash law in Mass. has helped decreased this type of rescues.
That is why I’m trying to speak out loud in our best friends’ name and encourage owners to keep them leashed at all times for their own safety.
