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.
He carries it over to his wife.'The only real stress I had about it wasn't getting in the cold water. It was the depth. I did not know if it was 20 feet deep or it was 2 feet deep,' MacRitchie said. 'When I broke through and I got on my feet and it was like waist high, I was actually relieved by that. In my mind, during the moment, I thought, OK this isn't that bad. Yeah, it's cold, but I feel this is a very doable situation.
