Cop Crawls Across Thin Ice To Rescue Dog From Half-Frozen Pond

Nisel the dog is lucky to be alive this Christmas after being pulled out of a half-frozen pond by New Jersey Police Officers Robert Voorhees and George Peterson and Specialist Dave VanDoren.

After Hopewell Township NJ Police received the call that Nisel couldn’t get out of the pond alone, Voorhees offered to be tied to a rope and crawled out onto the ice. When Nisel swam toward Voorhees, he grabbed her collar and Peterson and VanDoren then pulled Voorhees and Nisel to safety.

Nisel was reunited with her owner and warmed up without any lasting ill effects. Watch the body camera footage of the dramatic rescue below!
