Man's dramatic rescue of dog from freezing river in Vermont caught on video
CBSN
Spotting a dog struggling to stay afloat in an icy Vermont river, Chris MacRitchie never hesitated.
He jumped into the frigid waters and waded over to the dog, gently pulling it ashore where his wife, Erica, draped it with a sweatshirt. The dramatic rescue of the dog Friday afternoon in Berlin, Vermont, was caught on video by his son and has been shared widely on social media.
MacRitchie's son, Ace, first spotted the dog as they were going through the drive-thru of a nearby Dunkin' Donuts. When they reached the river embankment, the father of two felt he had no choice but to save the pooch.
