Dog rescued from Detroit River ice after 4-hour operation near Grosse Ile


"The dog was moving on this sheet of ice and it was stopped by at least a small channel. We thought that maybe the drone could lure it back, and it kept going further east to the Canadian side,"

Firefighters also attempted to walk onto the ice while but determined conditions were too dangerous. Crews then brought in an airboat for the rescue operation.

"The problem is, between the drone and the firemen, the dog kept running away," Vazquez said.

Just as the drone's battery was running low and the airboat was preparing to return to shore, rescuers finally reached the dog."
