A team of bystanders pitched in, and West Routt Fire Protection District firefighters crawled across a frozen pond near Hayden to save a dog.
A passerby spotted a black Labrador retriever about 10 a.m. Saturday.
He and some neighbors began looking for help and then called firefighters. Firefighters arrived at the scene to find the dog in a portion of the aerated pond that was free of ice.
They climbed toward the dog on ladders that had been placed on the ice to distribute their weight, got a piece of webbing around the dog and pulled it onto the ice.
The dog was dried off and warmed in the back of the rescue truck, and the owner of the dog arrived soon after.
