A frightening Sunday morning on a Long Island pond had a happy ending for Lucky and his owner thanks to some quick work by the local fire department.
Police and fire units rushed to Grant Park in Nassau County for a report of a dog that had fallen into the "partially frozen pond" around 9 a.m.
Rescue swimmers from the Hewlett Fire Department were able to reach the Golden Retriever struggling to stay afloat.
Lucky was taken to a nearby animal hospital for evaluation.
