A dog was rescued from a frozen pond in Massachusetts over the weekend, and firefighters have photos to prove it.

Crews with the Wareham Fire Department responded to Bartlett Pond near Barker Road in the Red Brook Wildlife Management area at 7:19 a.m. Saturday after the dog was reported in the water in subzero temperatures.

Assistant Chief Mark Rogers observed the dog struggling in the water at least 150 feet from the shore when he arrived. 

"The crew of Engine 1, Captain Micky Bird, along with Firefighters Chris Barrasso, Chris Callinan and Alex Estes quickly deployed onto the ice, rescuing the dog," a Facebook post states.
